I need to know what I should do with the old green/yellow wire that used to be attached to the green screw on the frame. Options are: 1. Cap it with a wirenut. I.e. Dont use it. 2. connect it to the white neutral terminal with the white wire. 3. Other??? Ive been told various options which leads me to believe that they are guessing. I dont want to get a shock and die. Please help!! Thanks!
