Thank you in advance for any help you are able to give me.
I am attempting to add an outlet. I want it to be controlled by an existing switch which is in a box as a group of three. The middle switch controlled the ceiling fan light. I connected two wire romex cable to the new outlet. Then I bundled the white wire to the existing box white wire bunble. The black wire to the switch I want to control the new outlet. I plugged a light into the new outlet and it worked but the switch does not turn it off and on.
In the picture I have attached I hope you can see the new cable white and black wires and what I attached them to. Thanks, Ric
