I gotta problem. I unwired my fixture today to put in a new one. When I wired the new on in and turned to switch on it was flickering. So I shut off the breaker and took off the fixture. I then took the switch out of the wall to test it. I took my mutlimeter to the wires coming out where the fixture hooks in and it STILL has 120V. WITHOUT THE SWITCH!!!!!!!! What is my problem man?

Ey, TIM!
It's AC.
It doesnt care if you wire that black-black or white-white.

@Serostern Oh, you're so wrong..... You need to have the polarity correct so that the hot wire is NOT energizing the aluminum screw threads of the socket.

I love the tips these DIY fools give... Get an electrician in! It is safer and you can always get a quote for free...
Idiots like you that put people like me out of business and worse - get people shocked, burned or killed...

@1982rf Commander, you just don't get it. Why are you and so many other tradesmen so unsecure? There will ALWAYS be a segment of the market that wants to do the job themselves either because they want to or they can't afford you. Videos like this are for them. And don't preach how high and mighty you are because on your first day on the job, you didn't know squat. You had to learn just like the folks watching these videos.
