    How can I separate my power to the exhaust fan and bathroom light?
    I have my fan and wall light connected to a single switch.so when I turn light on ,the fan goes on. I want to put a double switch in and have one switch control the fan and the other the light. Keep in mind the fan is not a part of the light. Fan is on ceiling, light is on wall
