I have a budget noncontact voltage tester, which beeped when I got in the general vicinity of the the switch, so couldn't tell whether top or bottom was hot. Went with bottom, which is what I initially thought, and that worked! From further research, it look like this switch used a 3-wire cable (the red wire) as if it were a 3-way switch, even though this is the only switch in the basement. | |
