I did not get any instructions with this switch. The connections look like I have to hard wire. Do I hardwire the switch? If so, how?

The best way is to get a few nylon female butt connectors, just crimp them onto the bare wires you are connecting, you can buy packs of connectors on Amazon or at a local auto shop.

If you have any knowledge of wiring, it want be difficult. If it is your first time, I would ask someone with more experience to give you a hand. I would also suggest putting an in-line fuse on the wire, just to be safe.

It depends on the type of installation - single pole or 3-way and whether the switch is in the middle or the end of the run. Here is a link to the Honeywell Installation Guide showing drawings of each type of installation. https://customer.honeywell.com/resources/techlit/TechLitDocuments/69-0000s/69-2458EFS.pdf You can also call Tech support at 800 468-1502 and they'll walk you through the process. Good luck!

I've taken mine apart to install new switch. The wiring is pretty basic so if it's not starting there must be a bad connection. I'd suggest taking it apart and making sure there's no hair or something else causing the problem.

Yep if you have a normal 4 prong plug to hook it up to . Or you can hard wire ..it took me about 20 min to install ..looks and works great

Wires need to be spliced. They give you just enough wire to make a decent splice. Otherwise order a kit that provides switch etc.

You have to run two additional wires from the switch to behind the gauge cluster. Look it up on YouTube, or google it. I did it over a year ago, and it works fine.

you would probably have to get a plug that lets you do so...try going to a hardware store or a electrician, try calling one. I don't know if they have the plug in switch. soryy..but this is a cool gadget.

I don't have the manual anymore... I pulled my out of the box and left it as is, installed it and it worked great... I assumed that the switches came from the factory set to defaults... So I didn't want to use either option...

Hi An, First of all, I just want to let you know that I'm not an electrician and all the installation that I had performed was just by following the instructions that came with the product and also did some online reading so that answer that I'm going to tell you was just based on their instruction. All my installations were on a single-switch installation and I never done a 3-way installation but just looking at instruction, it showed that Red is connected to the Yellow wire. I took a picture of the diagram that I had when I still have my Honeywell switches and I hope by looking at this, it will clear things up for you. http://db.tt/NXf3Hi0X- Joel Hi An, First of all, I just want to let you know that I'm not an electrician and all the installation that I had performed was just by following the instructions that came with the product and also did some online reading so that answer that I'm going to tell you was just based on their instruction.

I had many problems with this myself. I tried to figure that out however was unsuccessful. I purchased other similar switches so I do not think I received a faulty switch. I would suggest YouTube.

I found another plug at Walmart(automotive/ lighting/wiring)& took what parts i needed that one to make the original work. If your not comfortable swapping parts,you can splice the wires to the new connector or hard wire it to a fused switch.

Mine is hard wired to a switch. I don't know whether you could install it so as it use a pull chain or not.

It comes with a wiring kit that includes a switch to use if you need one. So you can either hardwire it to a separately switched circuit or you can hard wire it to a circuit using the included switch, or you can plug it in to an outlet and use the switch that is provided with the wiring kit. The light and wiring kit is very versatile and allows many configurations.

Don't know how to work with 2 wires. This switch took three wires: blue for load, black for hot line, and white for neutral line. You need to have three wires to make it work.

You must wire it yourself. But before you hard wire it test it to make sure it works because they use different colored wires.
