I am changing the old style push wires to the new 4 wire system with 2 black and 2 blue wires.thanx for any help.
Are you talking about the power switch. The new power switches have 4 wires sautered to the power switch, where the old ones have 6 wires that slip in and lock into the power switch.
The blue ones are for your power cord, and the black ones are for your vacuum motor, and your power nozzle plug.
Secure one motor wire and one power nozzle plug wire to one of the black wires out of the new switch, and secure the other two, to the other black one from the power switch. It does not matter which ones that you match together. Secure one of each of the power cord to the two blue wires from the power switch. It does not matter which one of them goes to each wire neither. It is AC so power goes both ways.
Use twist on wire nuts to secure the wires to each other, and put some electrical tape around each of them, after you secure them securly with the wire nuts.
It is best to secure the cluster of wires to each other with a pull tie, after you are finished wiring everything.
If you have any more questions let me know. I am a Rainbow seller, and a Rainbow expert also.
Thank you,
Ralph
