Why dining room lights go on and off intermittently?
Check for loose wiring at the light itself and also at the light switch. There can also be a loose wire anywhere in the circuit supplying power to that light switch. Start at the light itself and work backwards in the circuit until you find the loose wire.
Is it possible to run power from a three way switch to install an outlet?
Yes you just have to "steal" power from the switch. Do this by running a pigtail wire from the hot of the switch to the hot wire of the plug. Make sure you do this before the switch or you will end up with your outlet being switched as well.
Why would there be power to ground wire instead of switch and lights Lights stopped working all of the sudden outside?
There will always be voltage to the ground wire, this is normal. The reason being is that the ground wire is bonded to the neutral terminal block back at the distribution panel. If you have a voltage reading to ground at the outside fixture with the switch in the on position then you have an open return neutral wire. This wire should be traced back from the light to the distribution panel. Check ever junction box that the circuit goes through and look for a loose or open white neutral wire. Closing the circuit where you find this fault will correct the problem.
How do you hook up one light to one switch in a basement lighting system that has all 10 lights connected to one switch?
If you have good access to the wiring this is relatively easy to do. Each of the 10 lights is connected to another in parallel in a "daisy chain" fashion. Light 1 is connected to the switch, light 2 is connected to light 1, light 3 is connected to light 2 and so forth. Let's say it is light 5 that you wish to switch separately. You can first install the new switch by either adding a new box or modifying old switch box. There are two gang switches that will fit the form factor of a single switch. TURN OFF THE POWER TO SWITCH BOX. Using the same supply input at original switch, add a new black wire to the wire nut for input to original switch and connect this to the input of new switch. Then run a new wire to light 5 and connect black wire to the output of new switch. Connect all the white wires together in switch box and separately connect all bare wires together in switch box. Now at light 5 undo the black and white wire coming from the fixture, and reconnect the wire nuts so that there is a direct connection between light 4 and light 6. Do the same for the ground if present (bare wire). You now have the fixture wires hanging free. Now connect the black wire from new switch to the fixture black wire and white to white and you are done.
How do you wire a 4way switch?
Connect all white wires together under a wire nut and push them back into the box. Connect all ground wires together and then connect them with a jumper wire to the ground screw on the switch. Connect black power in and power out, if applicable, wires to the bottom screw on the switch. Connect the remaining black wire going to the light to the top screw on the switch.
How do you troubleshoot the brake lights for a 1999 Ford Explorer?
start by checking fuses,then at brakelight switch check for power on one wire,should have power.next check power on the other wire with brake pedal pushed down.if you have power check wires from switch to lights if third brake light works fuse and switch ok.
Why don't my cargo lights turn on?
Because you haven't diagnosed and repaired the fault. It could be a fault in the power supply, the switch, or the lights themselves. If it were me, I'd start by checking fuses. If that wasn't the fault, I'd move on to the lights themselves.. I'd check the bulbs themselves, then I'd check to see if there was power going to them. If the bulbs were alright, and power was getting to them, I'd trace the ground wire for a break. Otherwise, I'd go to the switch and test it for continuity. If the switch had continuity, I'd check to see if the wire going to the switch input had power. If it did, then I'd look for a break in the wire between the switch output and the lights. If it didn't, I'd look for a break in the wire between the switch input and the fuse panel.
How do you wire running board lights on 2007 Toyota Tacoma?
run a wire from battery positive to an inline fuse, then to a switch that you have to install in your dash. from the switch to the lights, then to ground. turn on switch, lights should work.
Why do the brake lights or tail lights not work if you change bulb and the fuses are good?
A bad brake light switch or a bad headlight switch, or the power source of the fuse has a problem or break in the wire (circuit).
Where is the wiper fuse for a 85 f 250?
On this model, the wiper fuse is a circuit breaker in the wiper switch. There is a Blk/lt-grn wire (black light green), that has power from the ignition switch feeding the wiper switch. Check at the switch plug to make sure you have power coming in on this wire when the ignition switch is on. If you need more info, send me a message.
Brake lights don't work on 1982 Oldsmobile toronado?
You may have a bad brake light switch that is located behind the brake pedal. It is also possible that a wire is off on the switch. Check for power on the positive side of the switch and see if you have power to the other side of the switch when you touch the button. If you do, then you have a broken power lead to the brake lights or a broken ground in the trunk
Why does your stereo turn on when you turn on your lights in your dodge ram 1500 1997 truck?

How two wire 2 light switch up in 1 box?
Tie all the white wires together under a wire nut and push them back in the box. Tie the black incoming power wire and outgoing power wire, if there is one, together under a wire nut with a black wire pigtail. Connect this pigtail to one screw on each light switch. Connect the black wire going up to the lights to the appropriate switch you wish to use to control that light.

What can you do to fix your brake lights on your 1991 Chevy half ton when all your other lights work?
Check all the fuses and replace any that are blown. Check the bulbs for blown elements. Using a test light, check for power going into the brake light switch under the dash attached to the brake pedal. If you have that, check for power going through the switch with the pedal depressed. If there is power, you have a broken wire between the switch and the rear lights.
