Sorry for the poor quality video but hopefully it helps. I am trying to change out a switch (for more modern one) that I thought was a 3 way but am noticing some unusual wiring.
The existing switch has three screws with two black wires and one white wire connecting to them. One of the black wires is the hot wire. When the switch is off, neither the second black nor the white has power to it. However, when I flip it to on, power is now running to BOTH the other black and the white.
Maybe I am missing something but I didn't think this was correct. Can anyone clarify for me so I can swap out this switch?
Thanks!
