Trying to replace light switches in 70s house but they don't seem to have a grounding wire?
We recently bought a house built in the late 70s and I keep discovering wonky stuff. Electrical work is what I'm least confident in so I'd love some advice here. I managed to swap some broken motion sensor lights on the outside for new ones easily enough but I don't think anyone has worked on these switches since the 70s. The wiring diagram for the new switch indicates it should be connected to a grounding wire but I just see line, load, and neutral in this box, right? How do I move forward? Is this a "just call the electrician" sort of situation? submitted by /u/Zoomwafflez [link] [comments]
