I have a standard 2 receptacle outlet in my house. I am trying to switch it to a GFCI. I realize GFCI has load and a line side. There is also a switch in my room that is tied into this outlet (and other outlets on the same circuit).
I have two sets of Romex coming into the outlet.
With the switch off:
- Romex 1 Black 120V
- Romex 1 White 0V
- Romex 2 Black 0V
- Romex 2 White 0V
With the switch on:
- Romex 1 Black 120V
- Romex 1 White 0V
- Romex 2 Black 120V
- Romex 2 White 120V
So I thought I should wire Romex 1 to the LINE side of the GFCI. I wired the black to the gold screw and the white to the silver screw. I did, and it lit up green. But when I wire Romex 2 to the LOAD side of the GFCI it trips, and it stays red no matter how many times I hit reset.
Does anyone know how I might wire this properly?
