hope this helps..on this question, my problem was a loose wire on the flat plug that is attached to the battery cable. apparently the stereo installation people pulled this plug apart too roughly and loosened the connection. it later came apart inside the plug, causing my headlights, door locks, to not function.

What must you know before you change a circuit breaker?
Before you change a circuit breaker it has to be established that the breaker is at fault and not some other part of the circuit.
How do you change wire fuse for circuit breaker?
A circuit breaker does not have a wire fuse in it.
Can you upgrade a 15 Amps circuit breaker for a 40 Amp for a 8.5 Watt shower?
Not unless you change the wiring for that circuit. The breaker protects the wiring and if you install a 40 amp breaker on a 15 amp wire circuit you will have a fire in your home.
How do you change the headlight on a Cutlass Supreme 1994?
Is this a sedan or coupe/convertible? The sedans had the common setup and the coupe/convertibles had the mini-quads.
Is it possible that a circuit breaker can explode?
The definition of the word explosion is, a rapid expansion of gases. It may occur from physical or mechanical change. As there in no gases involved in a common circuit breaker the answer has to be a definite no. If a circuit breaker short circuits internally across the line the only thing that will happen is the safety protection up stream from the breaker will trip and take the faulted breaker off line.
Can a 8 amp be changed to 15 amps on circuit breaker?
If you are asking if you can change an 8 Amp Circuit Breaker to 15 Amps, the answer is no. If there is an 8 A breaker in place it is sized to protect the wiring and devices on the circuit. Increasing to 15 A would defeat this protection and could cause a fire or cause a connected device to be destroyed with higher amperage.
Can you install a tandem breaker?
Tandem breakers, often called split breakers or double breakers, provide two separate circuits in the space of a regular sized breaker opening. Every circuit breaker panel has a limited number of circuit openings available. The problem is that when the openings are all used up and you still need to add another circuit, what do you do? You could change the electrical panel or double up circuits on a breaker, but this could place too much load on a particular circuit. So what then? The answer that many have found is a tandem breaker. This type breaker is the same size as any other breaker, but it has its difference. This breaker sports two smaller breakers built into one regular sized breaker. Each has its own breaker switch and the breaker snaps in just like a regular breaker. With this simple innovation, you can add a circuit and protect the circuit on its own dedicated line.
What if your circuit breaker started tripping with no change of things plugged into an outlet Does this mean the circuit breaker needs to be replaced?
Circuit breakers can degrade over time but it would be better to get a competant electrician to do it. It might also mean you have too many things plugged into one outlet. Sometimes one circuit breaker may protect several outlets so it might be tripping because of a change in another outlet. ELECTRICTY IS DANGEROUS!!!! Don't do it yourself.
How do you change a drive belt on a 1997 Oldsmobile cutlass?
Insert a 3/8 breaker bar or wrench into the notch on the tensioner and pull upwards (towards back of the car). Then you can change the belt.
What are the differences between a Miniature Circuit Breaker and normal Circuit Breaker?
An air circuit breaker, or air-blast circuit breaker, is a type of circuit breaker used in high-voltage transmission/distribution systems. It uses compressed air to (a) operate its tripping mechanism, and (b) to extinguish the arc created by a fault current. A miniature circuit breaker is a type of circuit breaker used in low-voltage applications, such as the protection of lighting and power circuits in a domestic residence. It uses a spring to operate its tripping mechanism, and relies on the speed of operation to extinguish the arc created by a fault current. Apart from the fact they are both designed to interrupt a fault current, there is really no other similarity.
Why do you convert 120v circuits to 220v circuits?
You would need to change a circuits voltage if your adding a load that requires 220 when the present circuit supplies 120. If you need to do so it's pretty simple! First purchase a double pole breaker at the proper amp rating. Next find the breaker in the panel that supplies power to the circuit you wish to change to 220. Turn off the breaker and pull it out. Find the neutral for that circuit. Then double check and make sure it's the right neutral. Then check one more time. Now take the neutral and the hot wire for that circuit and connect them to the double pole breaker. install the breaker into the panel and turn it on. If you connected the right neutral you'll have 220 on that circuit. If you didn't you'll know because you'll trip the breaker.
