  1. You don't say what other devices are in the 3 -gang box.

    I'm assuming a switch for the ceiling light, and one for the fan.

    The third wire to the vanity light is a puzzler.

    Is there another outlet wired from this?

    Was there a switch for it in the box?

    In general, I would bring the 'power in' directly to the

    GFI and supply the rest of the devices from there.

    Both neutrals and Lines. Two short pigtails from

    the 'feed through' terminals wirenutted to power to the two switches and the receptacle.

    Youll have to do a very neat job to make all the connections fit in that box.


  2. Do you have a stacked switch for the exhaust fan light? Will there be a switch for medicine cabinet and the gfi all in the 3- gang box?

    There is not a heater in the fan/light combo?

  3. U have a 12-2 power line.  That's ur connection to supply power.  Connect the red/ black together to ur exhaust fan.  and connect the white to white.  From the fan...side just connect the red to power the fan.  The black wire will supply power to the plug.  Don't forget to hook up the white to white.  Hook up the black wire from the plug to the medicine cab. that's ur power.  On that connection....U should have a romax line coming from the switch.  The wire will link up to the black/ black.  The red/will link to the lite wire (med Cab.)black (lite).  The white wire will be capped. (the line from switch.)  The white wire from the med. cab. will be hooked up to ur lite .  So now u have  white to white of lite wire.  and red/ black.  The white line is capped from ur switch.  Good luck.  I've covered the complete hook up.  If ur still not sure...read each sentence  carefully and write down the step by step to follow.   U can also buy a electrical booklet from any hardware store, it will have what ur looking for.
