If you have to change an outlet, switch or a device box, how do you make sure all the wires get connected the same way when you are done? I’ve wired over 100 outlets, lights and switches as a DIYer and I’ve made my share of mistakes doing this. I developed my Wiring Maps so I could document every wire in every cable and get things connected the right way the first time.
If you want an introduction to my Wiring Maps, watch this video.
To download your free Wiring Maps, fill out the form below. You will be able to download the PDF file immediately. I’ll send you an email if I update the maps so you can download the latest version. I’ll also email you when the advanced version is available for purchase or other products I think you will find helpful in your DIY electrical projects.
I am working on an advanced version that will be available for a small cost and has more features and examples. Here’s how the two versions compare.
