so I installed a light switch connected to two separate light sockets. One way the switch lights one light, the other way, the other light.
I have two cables coming into the switch box. One from a socket from whence it derives power, the other going out to a socket, newly installed, which is the "end of the line".
In the normal "on" position, the original socket works as it should.
In the off position, it will turn on the new socket that I just ran my
12/2 with. Of course the other light bulb is now off.What gives?
