I recently bought a older home. I am replacing my over the kitchen light fixture with a track type light. I am also remodeling my kitchen at same time. I unhooked all light fixtures and reinstalled the main kitchen overhead light. It Works!! Now with that said, we are installing a over the range microwave. So I have to run a new outlet box for the microwave. I have 2 wires coming into the kitchen that was the existing over sink light. I want to put a junction box in and run a new wire to the outlet for microwave. While I was doing this I am replacing my switch for over the sink light. So with the 2 wires coming into the kitchen for the sink light I am trying to hook everything up but when I do this I am getting consist power to the over sink light even with lightswitch off. I checked for shorts, and completely did away with the light switch wire from the switch to the light and it still doesn't shut it off. Any suggestions??
