Hi all, sorry for the rookie question, see below, part in bold is the question...
I have a total of 5 old phone jack boxes with wiring coming out of them, I want to replace these phone jacks with new ones. All boxes have 1 red wire, 1 green wire, 1 black wire, 1 yellow coming out of each box.
3 of the 5 boxes - all wires were stripped and all wires were wired up accordingly to the colored wire and the same colored terminal (assuming this is the norm), I just replicated this on the new jacks.
1 of the 5 boxes had a middle portion of only the black and yellow wire stripped out and the other two wires attached to nothing and not stripped. The old phone jack had the yellow box wire attached to a red terminal (on back of phone jack) and the black box wire was attached to the green terminal (on the back of the phone jack). Is this right? What is going on here
The last box also had middle portion of only the black and yellow wire stripped out, but no idea what terminal on the jack they were attached to cause the jack was gone, assuming it was the same scenario as bolded above.
