Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to upgrade my bathroom GFCI and 3 switch plate in a metal box with a new GFCI and switch plate, but I'm running into a couple issues with the wiring.
The first thing that immediately jumps out at me is the fact that the neutral load white wire is grounded directly to the metal box, which doesn't seem right at all.
There are two sets of wires coming up through the box, one set on the left and one set on the right. The only hot wire in the whole box is the black wire from the left set.
The three original switches controlled the vanity lights, the shower light, and the shower fan. Ideally, I want to rewire for a 2 switch outlet so I can have the vanity light on one switch, and the fan and light in the shower on the other.
I tried wiring up everything exactly as it was, but that didn't work, so now I'm trying to figure out where to go from here. Any help would be much appreciated.
