    Installing new light fixture
    Hi My name is Mary: I am replacing a light fixture in my dining room, however I have 2 black wires coming from the ceiling along with two white wires. I connected all the whites together, all the blacks together (oh also, I have an orange wire from the ceiling) but the light comes on automatically as soon as I turn on the box and won't turn off. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    The black from the light probably should connect to the orange, as the orange is probably from the switch.
