    Changed 5 light switches now only one works
    OK I changed all the outlets and switches in my kitchen and living room and all of the outlets are fine but I'm having a problem with some of my light switches. I have a switch for my ceiling fan light and my porch light as soon as you walk in the door the porch light works but not the ceiling fan.. then I have another ceiling fan light and also one that just turns the fan on and it doesn't work(both switches are for the same ceiling fan) also the kitchen light that is on the same wall doesn't work... HELP

    Did you replace the switches with the same type of switch?

    Did you hook up the wires the same way the where hooked up before?

    We need more info.
