Need help with new light switch

[Conner S.]

Ok. I removed a dimmer to put a regular switch in. Installing a new ceiling fan and light. They have the power from box going to light, then switch, then to an outlet below the switch. The switch never controlled the outlet, just light. So can I just use a 4way to keep the flow going to the outlet and make it not control it? Just the ceiling fan?

When you say four-way what do you mean, a connector?

A 4way switch. My thinking was that it would still be able to carry a load to the outlet. But not control it?

If you want it permanently on there is no need to connect it through the switch just connect it to the supply hot wire.

So pigtail them and put a jumper on to the switch? Sorry. Should have said "explain it like you would to a child" in my original post lol

Yes that is what I would do.
