    Two switches (two separate lights) with continuous feed to garage door
    How do I wire the three wires so that the garage has continuous power. I thought I had duplicated the wiring when I replaced the switches but those switches were 40 years old and these are obviously much younger , so not quite the same. The lights work but not the garage door. (A diagram would be great!).

    And I was told there was no need to hook the ground wires to the green screw - they are already crimped together.
