The replacement plug will most likely come with short pigtail wires. The old wires will have to be cut and spliced to the new wires. Make sure that the connections are sealed from the weather as this is an area that gets wet.

You bought a 77 Mercedes 450sl with a 5 pronger fuel pump relay can and how do you replace it with a 6 pronger?

If a person bought a 6 prong fuel pump relay for the 1977 Mercedes 450 SL that needs a 5 prong relay, this will not work. The 6 prong fuel pump relay has to be exchanged for the right one. Inserting the wrong electronic parts may lead to a fire.

Do you need the ground prong for a computer cord?

The ground prong is connected to the computer chassis, including the outside of the power supply module. This is a safety feature to ensure that the metal case of the computer and power supply never becomes dangerously electrified in the event of a loose wire. Modifying the power cord not to have a ground prong would violate electrical codes intended to prevent accidental electrocution. That said, the ground prong is not essential for the normal operation of the computer, and the computer will still function without it. Proceed at your own risk.


Why do cords have 3 prongs?

Two prongs are needed for any electrical connector. This is because electricity is like a drive belt, where each component passes the belt through itself. Or electricity is like water inside pipes, with all the pipes full, and no bubbles allowed. Each component has to have an "in" and an "out" pipe. The third prong is there to prevent accidental electrocution and to prevent electrical fires. It's connected to one of the other two prongs. Wires inside the walls are run through steel pipes, and the third prong is connected connected to the steel. It's also connected to a metal stake driven into the earth. The third prong helps disconnect a malfunctioning appliance. In some appliances the third prong is connected to the metal case of the appliance and to the iron parts inside the motors. Suppose the plastic coating on the other two wires becomes damaged. If the wires touch any other metal in the appliance, they'll blow the fuses or trip the circuit breakers. Or in other words, a damaged and hazardous appliance will switch itself off automatically. Also see: http://amasci.com/amateur/whygnd.html

How do you change the horn on your 2008 silverado?

If it is the same as the 2010 Silverado, there is only one horn which is located in the below the drivers side front headlight. To get to it, you must remove the headlight by removing the 2 or 3 screws and then pulling it straight forward away from the truck. The horn is held in by a single screw but be forwarned -- the horn has a new style connector. Instead of the single or dual prong connectors, it has a dual circular connector so your choices of "plug in" horns will be limited.

When i replaced condenser fan on my lennox air conditioner its running backwards why would this be?

The fan will have a pair of short wires that come out of the fan motor connected to another short pair of wires going back to the fan's motor. The 2 pairs will be connected to each other with either a single 2-prong connector or two single-prong connectors. Reverse the connection pairings and the fan will spin the opposite direction. (If you have a 2-prong connector, just unplug the connector; twist one end of the connector 180-degrees; then reconnect.)

What is wrong if you changed a four prong to a three prong and the dryer is not heating?

My question is WHY did you replace a four prong dryer plug with a three prong! 220 volt Electric dryers require two hot legs, a neutral and a system ground wire. Sounds as though you shunted one of the hots or the neutral. You need to install a four prong plug of the same configuration and wire it exactly as the original.
