    I have a switch and outlet in the same box, the outlet works but no power to the switch. The box has two black and two white and a ground coming out of the top of the box, the bottom has one white one black and one red. I have wired it multiple ways and either the outlet works or nothing at all works but, can never get pwer to the light switch. Please help.
