Hey everyone! I've been searching everywhere for an example of this and can't find anything helpful, so I'm helping you all can give me some advice.I want to replace the rocker switch for my kitchen lights (4 recessed lights) with a dimmer switch. I bought a Leviton dimmer and everything seemed easy up until I pulled out the existing switch. When I pulled it all out, I was faced with 3 sets of wires in the box. 1 coming up from the bottom, as expected, with black/white/ground. 2 coming from the top, also black/white/ground like there are 2 circuits for my 4 lights. Here's where it gets weird. The black line from one of the upper wires goes to the switch. The black line from the other side is connected to the black line from the bottom with a twist cap, then a wire goes from that twist cap to the switch. The white are all twisted together. The ground is all twisted together, with a wire going from the twist to the switch. Here's a really crude drawingI tried a couple ways of wiring up the new dimmer switch, but every time I get no power to the switch or lights. I'm beginning to think the load line might be going to one of the lights? Anyway. Any thoughts would be helpful! via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2w4tFBh
