Do you just remove the wires from the outside switch and run from there?
Well, no...the rocker switch is still there and in the on position. I just don't use it any more. First I cut the hole for the switch box and then I dropped a 14/3 wire down to the circuit breaker panel. (I was fortunate that the panel is located in the bathroom cabinet and back to back of the wall where the switch is) I removed the wire hot wire from the circuit breaker and replaced it with the black wire of the 14/3 for the hot to the switch. The red wire in the 14/3 is wire nutted in the panel to the wire that came off the breaker, and the white wire of the 14/3 as a neutral for the light on the switch when in the on position.
Thank you bluka43. Sounds like my next project!
