electric1 Guest   Posts: n/a	combo switch problem I move in to this home and notice something. There is a dual switch unit in the bathroom, one controls the light, the other the exhaust fan. But, the exhuast fan will not run unless the lightswitch is on. The wiring looks correct in the box. Any remedies? Thanks.
