GFCI and Single Pole Switch

Posted on July 6 2011 by Helen Woods

I have an outlet that I’m replacing with a GFCI (its an old house with no ground wires). This outlet is connected to a single pole switch. The power (2 wires, black and white) goes to the outlet and then there are another 2 wires (black and white) going from the outlet to the switch. Is it possible to wire this? What would I need to do to get this working?

Everything I tried either trips the GFCI when I turn off the outlet or just trips the whole breaker when I reset the GFCI.
