Is there any major difference in how a light switch is wired up in a mobile home versus a house?
My nephew installed a light switch in mobile home the same way a house light switch is wired. (Had no experience with a mobile home) Is there a difference with ground wires?
He also used an electric box and switch normally found in homes... not exactly like what he replaced in the mobile home. Mobile home is about 9 or 10 years old.
The wiring IS copper and it hasn't thrown any breakers...
The box used was the same size and what is typically used in a residential home. It didn't need to be shorter.
My mobile is 20 years old and is wired exactly like a conventional home. I've had walls apart and seen what was done( I wired my last house from new construction to final inspection so I have some idea), and had electricians in to do wiring here, saw what they had to work with here and they had no comments about "oh, it's a mobile".
I have a light switch that controls the outlets in 2 rooms is there a way to disconnect the outlets?
so that the outlets are not connected to the light switch?
Sure, if nothing else is on the switch and you simply want to bypass the switch. With the circuit breaker for that circuit in the "off" position, or (in older construction) the fuse removed from that fused circuit, unscrew the switch cover and unscrew and remove the switch from the junction box. It is a simple matter to join the wire from the 'in' side and the 'out' side of the switch by twisting the wires together and covering the exposed wiring with the proper size of 'twist on' wire nut. Remove the switch altogether. With an adult monitoring the exposed junction box, turn on the circuit to test and ensure that both outlets work. Replace the switch wall plate with a flat "cover up" wall plate and You Are done.
If something else is also on that switch (like a Light Fixture), things get a lot more complicated, and it's probably better to call in an electrician.
