Initially half of each outlet was controled by the light switch, I replaced each outlet (7) and one light switch. Now even without the light switch connected all outlets are hot..i want it back to half controlled by the switch again.


there is little tabs on the side of the plugs on the "hot"or line side you need to break that to have the switched portion of the plug to work also only break off the hot side dont break the neutral side off
