Woody asked:
I have a wiring issue to resolve. There is a bank of 3 light switches in my garage- one turns on a single light inside the shed out back. The problem is the shed has no windows and the door faces away from the house so there is no way of knowing if the light is on or off without walking all the way down there to see. I have time to run down there once- is there a way I can walk down there and know which switch is the right one upon returning to the garage? If so, how?
2 of the 3 switches do absolutely nothing (did I mention this was a fixer-upper?)

you could check all the other ones, and then go and see if the light is on
First, you turn one of the lights on and leave it on for a minute. Then, turn that off, and turn the second light switch on. Run down to the shed. If the light is on, it would be the second light switch. If the light is warm, it would be the first. If the light is not warm, it would be the third.
