[ Decorating & Remodeling ] Open Question : I am replacing an outdated working porch light. There are 2 white, 2 blk, 1 red,1 brown. light stays on.?
I attached the whites(3), the blacks(3), the ground wire to green screw, left the other 2 wires alone for lack of what to do with them. Turned the breaker on. The porch light stays on, even with the light switch in the off position. The 2 odd wires were just pushed into back of the box. What am I doing wrong? I just replaced the front porch light with a sensor light and had no problem...
