I tried to wire an on/off switch for my attic fan which has a thermostat.
As soon as I turn on the switch the breaker trips. I thought the switch was shorting out so I tried another switch but the breaker tripped again.
If I remove the switch from the circuit the fan works fine.
Is there some reason I can't wire a switch for a fan with a thermostat ?
Any help would be appreciated.
