    Ok power into garage. I need to wire actually 2 outlets and 2 switches. Both switches run the double bulb light. Outlets must have constant power. I have tried every combo I can think of but I can't get any power. Is there a picture of a wiring diagram for this set up?

    Are the switches at opposite ends of garage or in the same box?

    Does one switch operate each light?

    Let us know and we can help.

    Do you have any books on home wiring?
