You have that right. I bought a 20 amp circuit breaker at Ace Hardware and was wondering if I can just shut down the power and take out the old circuit breaker and put in a new one without worrying about wires? It does not look like it. I have flipped that circuit on and off a number of times but it has not resulted in any electricity getting to the switch. They remain dark.
