Feed drops to zero volts when light switch is turned on back to 120 volts when turned off feeds fluorescent lights?
voltage is measured by voltagd drops. When a switch is open/ off there is a voltage difference between one side to the other. when the switch is on there is no drop from one side of the switch to the other. That is normal operation. If switch is on, and you get a voltage reading across the switch, the switch is bad.
Where do the wires go on a pressure switch you got two wires from the panel then two wires out to the pump?
A typical pressure switch has 4 contacts. You are switching 220 volts. When the switch is open the supply side and pump side are not connected to each other. So you just need to connect the two wires from supply to one side of the switch and the pump to the other. It doesn't matter which wire on a given side is connected to which terminal on that side.
1995 buick regal no break lightsswitch is good and fuse is good?
Check for 12 volts at the hot side of the brake light switch. If you have 12 volts at that point depress the brake pedal and check for 12 volts at the cold side of the switch. If you have power there go to the back and check the bulbs, be sure they are good. If the bulbs check okay and the wiring looks good the problem may be in the signal switch under the steering wheel.
Why do your blinkers work but not your brake lights?
Blinkers can work without brake lights. Brake lights are activated by a switch that is switched by the brake petal and the turn signals are acivated by your turn signal switch on your steering column. The two are two separate circuits. I suggest you check out the switch on your brake pedal to see if it is working properly. It must have 12 volts applied to one side when it is not acitvated and 12 volts should be on both sides when it is activated. When the 12 volts is on both sides of the brake switch, it should apply 12 volts to your brake lights and then they should come on.
How can you determine if their is power at a light switch?
Use a volt meter to measure the voltage to neutral on each side of the switch. By turning the switch on and off and monitoring the voltage on one side and then the other, you can determine the supply and load side of the switch.
Your 1995 tercel brake light won't come on and it is not the bulb what can it be?
Only three major components in the brake light system: Fuse, Switch, bulb. Fuse is in the main interior panel just above the hood release. Switch is part of the pedal assembly under the dash. At the bare minimum you will need a twelve volt test light or meter to check for voltage at each of these components. You should have power through the fuse to one side of the switch at all times. When the brake is depressed, the switch closes and 12V should appear on the other side of the switch as well. If both those checks are good, move to the build and look for twelve volts at the bulb when the pedal is depressed. If twelve volts appears on both sides of the bulb you have a broken ground wire. If no twelve volts is present you have a break in the harness from the switch to the bulb.
Why can l only get power the the kitchen light switch when turning on the bathroom light switch?
It sounds like the feed for the kitchen is fed through the bathroom switch box. The black feeding the kitchen light is connected to the wrong side of the switch. There should be two black on one side of the switch and one on the other. One of the two blacks need to be moved to the other side of the switch. **BE VERY CAREFUL or CALL A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN** Even with the switch OFF the live side of the switch will be LIVE!!
How do you wire a 2 pole 208volt motor switch?
The switch will have two termination points at the top or one side called the line side of the switch. The corresponding bottom or other side of the switch will be called the load side of the switch. Terminate the two wires from the distribution breaker to the line side of the two pole switch. Terminate the motor to the two terminals on the load side of the switch. On a motor switch there should be a place where an overload protection can be screwed in. Order the overload heater element to the sizing of the amperage on the motor's nameplate rating.
What can a three-way switch be compared to?
to a railroad track switch the current flows on one side or the other but is never off
Your transformer hums and reads 29.7 volts out and 0 out the other side then it pops and fries?
Sounds like a short circuit.
How do you get the driver window up if the switch is broke on a 1998 Chevy lumnia?
assuming itis the switch and not the motor remove switch n hot wiretillup or use switch out of other side.....
I need a wiring diagram for a 1968 Camaro for the starter and coil.?
On the coil, the - or negative side goes to the distributor. The + or positive side goes to the ignition and is a resistor wire. That means it does not have 12 volts when the key is on. It should be approximately 9 volts. On the starter the positive cable goes to the large terminal and also any other large wires. That will feed the acessories.The purple wire goes to the inside terminal on the starter and it comes from the neutral safety switch. The last wire goes to the solenoid terminal marked R, that is the resistor side of the soleniod.
