I am trying to replace a fan switch with a GE digital timer switch (GE5100E60-71D). The instructions read as follows: Black lead to circuit's line conductor;Blue lead to circuit's load conductor; White to circuit's neutral conductor.
The box I am working on has two single pole switches; one to control the exhaust fan and the other to control the fan light. Inside the box are three cables; two 2 wire and one 3 wire. All of the whites of the three cables are connected by a wire nut, as are all the grounds. The black wires from the two 2 wire cables are also connected with a wire nut. For the fan switch: one terminal has a black wire that connects to the connected blacks, the other terminal is attached to the black wire of the 3 wire cable. For the light switch: one terminal has a a black wire that is connected to the connected blacks, the other terminal is connected to the red wire of the 3 wire cable. Where should I connect the white, blue and black wires for the new digital switch to replace the existing fan switch?
