My switch has a 2 conductor and 3 conductor cable. The receptacle has two 3 conductor cables. I want to half switch the receptacle and the next receptacle in the circuit.
In the switch, I have the grounded wires connected. I have the red and black wire from 3 conductor cable hooked to top of switch, the 2 white wires pigtailed, and the black wire from 2 conductor cable to bottom of switch.
Right now the switch turns on both the top and bottom receptacle even though I broke the tab. How do I hook up the wires in the receptacle so only one is hot? Also, the wires continue on to another receptacle that I want half switched.
