Yes the header is confusing, but here's what I'm trying to do. I want to add a ground fault outlet next to or connected to the box with two switches. I'm trying to figure out how to get some always on power from the switch set up. Ok I'll try to be more clear. When I pull the switch out to look at the connections there are 3 wires connected to the left side 1. orange, 2. orange and 3. yellow which doesn't stop but travels on. There are 2 connectors on the right side, the top one is empty and the second has a blue wire attached. One of these does outside lights and the other does inside garage lights.I want to add the outlet at this location. At the front of the garage there is a single switch with an orange wire at the top left and on the right side an orange wire top then a yellow wire below. This switch does inside garage lights also. The wires are in metal conduit. From the reading I've done, black or blue wires are the hot/feed lines and switched legs are orange and yellow. All thoughts appreciated. So how do I tie in to that switch wiring to add an outlet? Thanks.
