    I have a single pole with three switches
    Hi there, I'm currently trying to wire my bathroom. It has a light, night light, and a fan. It's getting interesting here, I have also a single light and a gfi outlet. They will all be on the same circuit, which has a 20 amp breaker. How should I wire this set up.

    Ok power to switch box. Do you want to take power to the ceiling from the switch box or the outlet?

    OK, so you have a 4-wire cable to go from the switch to the fan/light/night light?

    I don't understand that. A 4-wire cable is a piece of cable with 4 wires in it. Do you mean you have a switch with 4 terminals or 4 wires for connection?

    OK, do you have any 4-wire cable? 4-wire cable will make the neatest installation but it may be a little inconvenient to find unless you go to an electric supply house.
