L.C. asked:


In my bedroom, there are two wall outlets and I know one of them has an outlet that turns on a lamp. I guess I can just do trial and error to figure out which outlet turns my lamp.

But my question is, how do I do it? Do I leave the wall switch in the on or off position? Do I keep the lamp on ON when I plug it in? Do I have like an order to do it in?

Please give me like directions on how to do this. Thanks.

I originally had power running to a light switch and then another wire to a light fixture. I spliced the going to the light fixture so that I could add a second light fixture. I connected all 3 blacks together, all 3 whites together and all 3 grounds together but when I turned the breaker back on, the breaker popped. How do I make this configuration work?
