How do I make a 3way switch into a single pole switch?
I have 2 bedrooms that I am trying to install new light switches in. They both had dimmer switches in, now I just want regular flip switches.
The problem is that Room A seems to want to be a 3-way switch with room B. There are 3 black wires in the electrical box. Right now, with the dimmer switch hooked up, 2 blacks are attached together to a single black on the switch, and the last black is hooked up to the other single black on the dimmer.
Room B only has 2 black wires, so it's a single pole switch, correct?
I want room A to have no control over room B. How do I do that?
Can I put 2 of the 3 wires into a single pole switch and just cap the 3rd wire?
