Why is a red colored wire in a 120 volt circuit and what does it do?
It is used as a hot wire. <<>> In a three conductor cable set the third wire colour is red. In home wiring a three wire cable is used in a couple of locations. If the circuit involves a three way switching circuit, the cable between the two light junction boxes is fed with a three wire cable. Check the Internet for three way lighting connections. The other location a three wire cable is used is in split circuitry. Your kitchen counter receptacles use this method of wiring. The tie bar in the receptacle is removed on the hot (brass colour) side of the receptacle and the red wire is connected to the top brass screw and the black wire is then connected to the bottom brass screw of the receptacle. The white wire, as always, is connected to the silver coloured screw of the receptacle. Another example of using a three wire cable is to take two circuits from the distribution panel to two separate circuits on the other side of the house instead of running two, two wire circuits. The three wire cable is terminated in a junction box and two two wire circuits are feed from this junction box to the circuits that require power. The two two wire circuits will use the white wire of the three wire cable as a common neutral.
How do you connect a 3 wire fixture to a 2 wire fixture that are connected to the same switch what do you connect the red wire to?
A three wire fixture most likely is one that has two separate loads within it. An example is a ceiling fan with a light fixture. If the three wire is used to separately switch the two loads you have to make a decision as to which load you want to work with the two wire fixture. Once that decision has been made connect the two wire fixture in parallel with the your selected load on the three wire fixture. On these types of installations the three wire fixture is usually controlled by two separate switches in a two gang box. The red and black wires of the three wire terminates on the bottom of either switch. The white wire is connected to the incoming neutral. The top of the switches are paralleled together with the "hot" feeder from the distribution source.
How many wires come in from the weather head?
If single phase - 2 wire service > two wires If single phase - 3 wire service > three wires If three phase - 3 wire service > three wires If three phase - 4 wire service > four wires US residential service is usually single phase 3 wire service: Two hots and neutral.
Is it okay to use an adapter to change a three pin plug into a two pin plug?
No, it is not ok, it is potentially very dangerous because the two-wire cable has no earth with it. The earth wire is an important safety component that comes with a three-pin plug. An exception can be made for certain low-power appliances that have double insulation. This includes TV sets, radios, and table lights provided the mounting is plastic and not metal. These appliances are commonly sold with a twin-wire cable but often with a three-pin plug on the end of it. The three-pin plug in this case often has a plastic 'earth' pin and it is safe to replace it with a two-pin plug.
What are two instruments that look alike?
Three instruments that look alike, but are not identical are the oboe, English horn, and clarinet.
Does a 1986 Toyota Corolla have a horn relay problem if fuses and horn are good but it still doesn't work?
The horn should have two wires going to it. One wire is supposed to be hot (battery voltage 12v). The second wire is open but gets grounded when the horn button is depressed, thus completing the electrical circuit and making the horn toot. So, the first check is: are you getting 12v on one of the two wires? the second check is: when a helper presses the horn button do you get ground to the second of the two wires? The third check is: if you ground the second wire at the horn does it toot? If the first check does not produce 12v, then the fuse is blown or the wire from the fuse to the horn is defective. If the second check does not ground the wire, then the wire to horn button is defective or the horn button itself is defective. If the third check does not toot the horn, replace the horn itself.
How hard is it to replace a horn on a 2003 ford Taurus?
These are easy. They should be located in the front engine compartment by the radiator or by the wheel wells. They are black and look like a horn and usually have one or two bolts attaching it. There is a wire you have to unplug from the horn. This is a hot wire so protect it from touching the metal surfaces of the car or grounding the connector. Most cars have one or two. But they are generally somewhere in the front of the engine compartment.
How do you replace the horn on a 2001 Nissan Pathfiner?
remove the bolt of the two horn (12mm bolt). also remove the two electrical connection of the two horns and replace it with the new pairs. emmanuelsumabatjr@yahoo.com.ph
Why does your horn make a clicking sound when trying to blow it?
The noise you hear is the horn relay clicking. The reason your horn does not work can be two things. Either you have a faulty horn, or you have a bad connection where the wire hooks to the horn.
Can you replace a two wire with a one wire alternator?
Yes. Instructions come in the box.
Where is the horn relay in 1996 Geo Tracker?
The horn relay in 1996 Geo Tracker is located under the left hand side of the instrument panel attached to the CEM. Two green wires connect the power from the fuse to the relay, a blue/green wire connects to the horn and a green/black wire carries power to the horn.
Could somebody please tell me what is wrong with my fuse It is the horn and cig lighter fuse on an '89 mustang I try to replace it but the fuse always blows when i press the horn?
There is a dead short in the horn pad, take off horn pad and look for two wires touching or a hot wire rubbing on something that is grounded. First, disconnect horns in bumper area then press the horn button then check fuse. If the fuse is still good, hook up horns and press horn again. If it blows fuse it is the horn itself.
How do you fix a horn that wont work on a vw 72 super beetle?
There are five things it can be: the horn itself, either of the two wires running to it, the fuse or the switch. The easiest thing to sort out is the fuse. It is number 11. If this is burned out you have bigger problems: the brake lights are also on it.Next, find out if you have voltage to the horn. Get out your meter and test both wires going to the horn. VW switches the ground, so 12v will always be on one lead. If you have a good fuse and no voltage at the horn, you need to pull two new wires: one to the fusebox, one to the switch in the steering wheel. I have you pull two wires because if one is broken the other is soon to follow.If you have voltage, ground the other prong. If the horn doesn't honk, replace it. You can use any 12v horn, but please don't get one that plays "La Cucaracha." (Yes, they make them.)If you have voltage and a honking horn, run a wire between the ground prong on the horn and the switch. If the horn honks, the ground wire is bad. If it doesn't, the switch - and maybe also the wire - is bad.
Why would your horn in your 88 Jeep Wagoneer stop working?
There are two simple answers 1. the wire has come loose from the horn located near the radiator. 2. the wire has come loose from the horn button on the steering wheel. If these are not the cause than there is likely a broken or corroded wire. The grand wagoneer is notorious for corrosion and i am guessing the wagoneer is the same. good luck.
