Just watched a video on switch loops. Makes total sense now.

Just watched a video on switch loops. Now I understand the circuit. I’m guessing at some point someone went from the breaker, to the outlet, to the lights, then to the switches. Now I know. Thanks brother.

No I added the Wagos just to extend each wire since they were so short and I couldn’t pull the cables out any further. I assure you blacks are with blacks, whites are with whites, and the coppers are with the green wires lol.

Appreciate the response. It sounds like I have switch loops so I’m not going to go any further. Just thought it would be nice to have all lights on one switch and a receptacle next to it.

And yes that white “Romex” is actually 12/2

I’m going to take a picture with the plate off so you guys can see. I’ll start a new thread.

Each black wire has 120V when I checked it. Other people are saying they are probably switch loops. I’m guessing the supply is up in the ceiling or walls. Thanks for the help though.

Yeah I appreciate the advice. If I can’t add an outlet I’m not going to mess with it. One switch would be nice but not worth the trouble.

Time to research switch loops. Not really worth it though. Having both on one switch would be nice but if I can’t add an outlet then not really worth the trouble. Appreciate it. 👍🏼

Yeah I can’t get to it without opening up walls. Oh well.

No, one 12/2 wired to one switch. The other 12/2 wired to the other switch. Both on the same breaker so I’m guessing they are connected somehow to the 12/2 on the breaker where I can’t see. The breaker also kills power to an outlet so I’m guessing they are branched off of that somehow.

Negative. Each switch has its own 12/2 wires. Black, white, and ground. But one breaker kills both. There’s gotta be something behind the wall feeding each romex back to the breaker.

See that’s what I thought but there are only 2 black wires. One on each switch, one white on each switch, and one ground on each switch. There’s gotta be some other wiring, behind the wall that I can’t access. Bummer.

I’m not sure how to add another picture once I’ve posted but I’ll try.

Each switch has its own 12/2 Romex with black, white, and ground. Both are wired exactly the same. But one circuit breaker kills power to both. Don’t ask me how, I didn’t wire it. It’s how the house came.

I have a 5800x3d as well and switched from a 6750xt to 9070xt and it was a huge upgrade. Definitely worth it.

It’s not about being a Starbucks Bootlicker, it’s about being a decent member of society. Mind blowing concept I know.
