We just moved into a new modular home.
I went to change a couple of light switches in the bathrooms, to put in
dimmers instead, so we don't have to have bright lights if we get up at
night.
I thought all I had to do was remove the switches, then wire in the
dimmers, like you do in every other home but it turned out to be
impossible.
It seems they don't put conventional wiring and switches in modular homes?
When I unscrewed the switch, I discovered it was also glued in with some
REALLY strong glue, so I had to break that loose. Then when I finally got
the switch out, I discovered unconventional wiring too. There are these big
white cables that appear to be running through the switches, that you can't
even access.
What the heck is this? Do they make it so you can never change a light
switch if you want or need to?
How can I put my dimmers in, does anyone know?
Help!
