[QUOTE="brainiiii, post: 487385, member: 31898"] so, had a perfectly working external sensor flood light connected to power originating from a fused heater switch (which borrowed power from a near by plug inside the house). all good. today though, i cut into the wire, connected a new light switch and a new light. the goal was for the new switch to control the new light, while the sensor light to remain the same as before. now, with the switch at one position, the sensor light works as before, and the new light stays on. when i flip the switch though, the heater switch fuse blows, and both lights no longer work of course. i have checked and there are no visible wires touching other wires but perhaps i joined them wrong? all neutrals together, same for live and ground. how to attach my electrical "diagram" and some photos? thanka [/QUOTE]
