    Switch controlled outlet to constant power
    I have an electrical outlet in living room which has top half controlled by switch and bottom half has constant power. The switch controls 4 other outlets in the room in the same fashion.
    I would like to make this outlet have constant power to the top and bottom. Is this an easy fix?

    Yes, remove any recepticles you want to do this too. Leave the White side alone, the other side will have 2 wires, One always hot and 1 switched, determine which one is switched, remove wire and cap off with wirenut, then a jumper or pigtail between both screws. A Tab on side of receptacle was removed to separate.
