How do I wire double elrctrical switches?

i assume both switches are single pole? How to wire depends on what wires you have in the box (i.e. the circuit they are in).

If you are replacing an existing switch, either replace one wire at a time, or write down the wire colors from the old switch.

Single Pole Illuminated switch doesn't interrupt power to fixture.

there should be two wires coming from switch both black you should hook up the hot wire to one the other to the light it self. if there hooked up right then the switch would be bad if you have a volt tester this will tell if you have a hot wire or not , good luck

I purchased the pr 180 photo electric switch from home depot.there are not any wiring instructions enclosed.I have two black wires and a ground in the wall. there is a green ( ground ) black,red, & a...

Leviton PR180 is a single-pole or 3-way motion activated light switch.
Resources:
http://www.leviton.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?item=452283§ion=10892&minisite=10026

The green connects to bare ground wire.
The yellow-red is not used EXCEPT to replace 3-way switch. Cap off yellow-red wire when wiring single-pole.

Your single pole switch has two black wires.
One black wire is Hot from breaker, and the other black wire goes to Load.
Turn power on, and test each black wire to bare copper wire. Tester lights up on Hot wire.

Hot wire connects to PR180 black wire.
Load wire connects to RR180 red wire

I have the unit wired and it does not wotk.I have black to black,red to red green to ground and white to white,any thoughts? Thank you

Electrician test wiring before connecting anything.
First of all, you don't mention what type of switch was replaced.

1) Leviton 6230 countdown timer is made to replace single-pole light switch only.
Single pole is where 1 switch controls the Load (light fan motor)

Your wiring sounds like 3-way switch.
3-way is where 2 switches control same Load.
For example a hallway usually has 3-way switches.

To confirm. If old switch has 1 dark screw, 2 brass screws, and 1 green screw, then that is 3-way switch. Use Leviton LTB15, LTB30, LTB60, LTB02, LTB12 countdown timer for 3-way.

2) If old switch has 2 brass screws and 1 green screw then that is single-pole switch.

3) If you are replacing single-pole switch, here are testing & wiring instructions for Leviton timer.
Remove device and separate wires for testing.
Use ordinary two wire tester.
Tape tester leads to wood sticks so hands are away from power.
Do not untwist wires that were twisted together before you started.
Turn on power.
Test each wire to bare ground wire.
Tester lights up on Hot wire. This wire will connect to timer black wire.
Now you know Hot wire.
Test Hot wire to each of the other wires, excluding bare ground wire.
Tester lights up on neutral. Timer white wire connects to Neutral wire.
If box does not contain Neutral wire, then timer white wire connects to bare ground.

Timer green wire connects to bare ground wire.
Timer red wire connects to wire going to Load.

I have the power source in the ceiling. I want to run wire to a single pole switch to a ceiling light?

Disconnect 1 side of light. Wire nut 1 wire from switch to 1 side of wire from light. Wire nut other side from switch to light. You now have a switch inline.

Im replacing a switch to my garbage disposal when i turn the power on both circuits are hot my question is that the switch runs hot in off position and when i turned the power on and flipped the switch it...

What type of switch are you using? A single pole switch does not have a ground. There will be 2 screws, and it doesnt matter which one you connect the Line (feed) and the load (garbage disposal) too. With the switch disconnected only one wire will be hot.

Hope this helps,

Cheers
