I installed 3 exterior lights, source to switch, in series. Then I installed 2 motion detectors. The first one works fine (when the switch is on) but the second motion detector at the end of the line does not work. It makes sense that it is not getting any juice due to the first sensors which would block the source from reaching the end of the line.
Can I wire this to work? Will the second detector operate if it has a 'jumper' wire that is connected to the source before the first sensor? Or will that mess up the circuit having the source input in two locations?
