Default How to: Electric Cutout wiring HELP!>!?!?!!?

Please I need some help here

I got the switch, I got the wires all ran underneath the cutout hooked up and now I need the wires to the switch. I've no idea on how to run them to the actual switch itself. There were 8 wires connected to it and just need to know how to run the wires. I'm so lost

PLEASE HELP THANK YOU

What happened to the instructions that came with the cutout?

8 wires? Most cutouts have only three. Are you using some other kind of switch other than the one that came with the cutout?

Hey man that's great but hot exactly do I wire the switch. I understand completely how to run the wires and te way you have is exactly how I am. But how exactly do the wires run up to the switch and cross and all.

I cut the wires to my cigarette lighter and spliced them in there. Lighter still works(I don't ever use it though), and the switch for the cutout did work, until I went with a different setup. If you do it my way, do not use the lighter socket and open the cutout at the same time.
