Hi, I have a question about how to install a new switch to toggle a light I installed into a 2-gang box where an existing switch with power source exists. What I would like to do is utilize the existing power source without effecting the operation of the existing switch, meaning I don't want the second switch to operate the new light or effect the operation of the new switch. I tried pig tailing the black to use on both switches and then capping the whites together but this seemed to cause a dependence on the old switch to be on so the new switch would work.
Here is the setup before connection of the new switch, any help would be appreciated. Thanks
