US NEC: You must provide a box to join the old and new wiring together. Also, when making modifications to old wiring, you must upgrade the old wiring as needed to meet current code.

Why would an electric receptacle have 3 hot and 3 neutral wires With one set of wires screwed into the sides of the outlet and the other two sets pushed into the back?
no you have to improperly install it....... :P Shut off the power to the receptacle. Now remove the three black wires from one side of the old receptacle and twist them all together with your pliers. Make a short pigtail 6 inches long, same colour and wire size. Now twist this pigtail into the other three wires. Hold all four wires together with the appropriate size wire nut. Do the same with the white wires. Push all the wires into the back of the receptacle box. Connect the two pigtail wires to the new receptacle black wire to the brass coloured screw, white wire to the silver coloured screw. Screw the new receptacle back into the box, install cover plate, turn the power back on. Done deal.
How do you replace a dimmer light switch with a regular light switch coming off of a wall plug ive got 2 black wires 2 white wires 2 grounds and one red wire going to the light?
This is a relatively simple wiring job. Remember that all a switch is, is a means of interrupting the power coming from source (electrical panel) and travelling to load (light fixture). Without the switch, the light would stay on constantly. The black wire is a power wire and so is the red. The white wire is a neutral wire, and the green wire is the ground. You may have to do some trial and error to get it right as I can't see the actual wiring diagram you have. After shutting power off to that circuit, disconnect the dimmer switch and remove. Connect the two white wires together with a wire connector. Connect the two green wires. The red wire was probably part of the dimmer switch and should now be gone, but if it isn't then just cap it off. Now connect the black wire from the fixture to one of the terminals on the switch, and connect the black wire from the electrical panel to the remaining terminal on the switch. That's it.

How do you connect a CD-ROM directly to an electric socket?
To do this, you need a power adapter (a computer power supply will work great for this). The Drive will have a molex connector on the back for +12 VDC, ground, ground, +5 VDC. Connect a molex connector to that drive with the proper voltages, and the drive should power on. However, it won't be much good without connecting it to a computer motherboard, or drive controller.
Can you connect your 5.1 speakers with a wire type connector to a laptop without a player?
I don't think you can. Your player has specific ports which allow your 5.1 set to connect to it. Sadly, a laptop doesn't have ports for this type of connection. However, if you can get hold of an AUX cable, you will be able to connect your laptop directly to your player, and play songs off your laptop directly through you home cinema.
How do you fix a Code 43-ESC on a 1991 Chevy Camaro?
Code 43 is a knock sensor (ESC system fault). If you have a hard 'check engine' light, try this. Disconnect the negative terminal on the battery for a couple of minutes, then reconnect. Start vehicle. If the 'check engine' light comes on within 15-20 seconds or so, chances are either the connection to the sensor is poor, or the sensor is bad (open). Shut off car, then disconnect the connector to the knock sensor. Read the voltage to the connector pigtail (key on engine off). It should be 5 volts. Then ohm check the socket on the sensor itself (to ground); it should be 3.9k (depending on knock sensor used). Run a jumper between the pigtail and the sensor, making sure you have good and solid contact to both. Key on, engine off, the voltage at the connector should now be 2.5 volts. LEAVE THE JUMPER IN PLACE. Disconnect the battery neg terminal again, for a couple of minutes (to clear the code). Reconnect neg battery terminal and with the jumper between the connector and the knock sensor still in place, start the car. If no 'check engine' light within 20-30 seconds, let car continue to run for a few minutes. If still no light, it's the connector that is bad. It could be the pigtail, or the sensor connector itself. I repaired mine without changing the sensor.
