How do I do away with a low voltage switch that controls outlets?

I have several outlets that are controlled by various low voltage switches in my home. I want to make the outlets work all the time and NOT controlled by a switch. How do I do this?


Take the wires off the switch and wirenut them together, bypassing the switch. If you have a red wire in there (2 switches controlling the same outlet) you better get someone to show you how to do it safely. I don't feel comfortable giving advice on that.
