Why will a light not work on knob and tube wiring with 120V of power on meter?

According to www.wilberelectrical.com knob and tube wiring is no longer legal. You will need to replace it. Chances are, as knob and tube wiring is very, very old, something has broken or it has been disconnected as knob and tube is not very safe. I would recomment replacing it with modern wiring devices rather than trying to repair it.


On an old three-knobbed shower how do you get the middle knob off for the shower if you don't have any water coming out of your showerhead and need to get this off?

I believe there is a very small hole at the base of the handle knob, on the side, which is a bit hard to see. You will need a small Allen wrench to engage it and turn counterclockwise to loosen. These valves are always leaking and freezing up. Consider a single control with a cartridge that is easy to replace.

When using the high power objective which focus knob do you use?

The fine adjustment knob is used with the power objective on the microscope. Since the objective is already at the highest objective possible for that microscope, using the coarse adjustment knob would focus to much on the object making the details harder to read. Using the fine adjustment knob, you are able to see the fine details within the object or organism you are studying. The higher the power, the finer the knob and the lower the objective, the coarser the knob and objective.

How do you change the gear shift knob on a 2002 Volvo S60 T5?

Removing the shift knob is actually very simple if you have the Volvo "Spaceball" setup: Just push down on the knob and rotate it counter clockwise about 90degrees then pull up to remove the knob from the shaft. Depending on what type of shift knob you are replacing it with, installation of the new one may differ. See: http://forums.swedespeed.com/showthread.php?136135

How do you remove the Light Control Knob on a 1992 Mercury Grand Marquis to get the dash facia off to access the instrument cluster?

Look at where the knob fits onto the shaft. Somewhere there will be a lttle tiny notch. Take a very small screwdriver, slide the tip into the notch, and pull it toward you along with the knob. Doing this releases a little clip that holds the knob to the shaft.
