How to replace bathroom motion sensor switch with single pole switch?

8 years ago

Hi,

I have a motion sensor switch controlling bathroom light and a single pole switch controlling exhaust fan in the same box. I want to replace the motion sensor switch with a single pole switch.

Attached picture shows how the wiring looks like in the box:

Basically, I have total 3 entry/exit points.

White wires on all 3 are connected together.

Ground wires on all 3 are connected together.

Black wire from entry point 1 goes to a splitter input. At the output of splitter 1 black wire goes to a wire connector where the black wire from motion switch is connected. 2nd output of splitter is a black wire that goes to the bottom screw on single pole switch.

There is a red wire that goes to a wire connector where the black wire from entry/exit point 2 is connected.

The top screw on single pole switch is connected to a black wire that goes to the exit point 3.

So, now I want to replace the motion switch with single pole switch. How do I alter this wiring to put single pole switch? Any suggestions

Thanks for your help.
