need to add a second light switch to already existing switch

rattybobbin · 11 Mar 2009

Hi
My kitchen has 2 entrances.
One from the garden and one from the dining room.
My original light switch is located behind the refrigerator.
I took a wire from that switch and ran it to the garden door no problem.
Now I also want to run a switch to the entrance of the kitchen near the dining room.
How can I do this?
It doesn't work to add another wire from the original switch like I did the first.
I am a simple housewife and have put up my own ceiling fans, bathroom heater etc but this is hard for me to figure out.
Please make your answers simple enough for me.
Thanks
