In a household circuit, with a "hot" conductor insulated black and a white neutral, the black wire should connect to the center terminal of the socket. The outside part of the socket usually has a brass screw (for the black wire) and a nickel screw (for the white wire).

Why black wire and white wire both have power?
In the US, house wire has the BLACK wire connected to the HOT phase of the service input. The WHITE wire is connected to the NEUTRAL of the service input. Normally, both BLACK and WHITE wires are each connected to the 2 LOAD terminals. It is also normal that the WHITE service wire is connected to the wider spade outlet receptacle. The BLACK wire would then be connected to the shorter or narrower outlet spade receptacle. In wired screw lamp circuits, it is normal to wire the BLACK service wire to the center pad of the lamp socket and the WHITE wire to the screw shell of the socket. In switch circuits, it is normal to wire the BLACK service wire to the switch. The HOT service circuit is then opened or closed by the switch. Measuring voltage on your neutral means there is a break in neutral. If the neutral is broken you will measure voltage across the break or from the break to ground. Under this scenario you will measure the same voltage as you do on your hot wire and your load should not be working. Measuring voltage on your neutral less than on your hot wire may mean you have a problem where your neutral is supposed to be bonded to ground in your main service panel. In this scenario your load may be working but you need to check the bonding connection.

Wiring diagrame for escort mk6 diesel unable to find a feed for the black-blue cable to the key. no ignition lights?
Dear Sir, The black/blue wire of the ignition key comes from the glow plug relay. It passes through the central electric box through a link. This link replaces the automatic transmission inhibitor relay for manual gearbox models. Also, at the output of the central electric box, this black/blue wire (which goes to the glow plug relay) is connected directly to a black/red wire which feeds the solenoid of the starter motor. The black/blue wire at the ignition key is connected to the third position of the switch. When you turn the key to this position (which should spring back to position 2) you are connecting the black/blue wire with the red supply wire. This red supply wire comes directly from the battery through fuse B which is located near the battery. This red wire might also pass through the central electric box. Hope you'll find this information useful.

How do you rewire the console in the doctor who adventure games?
Using your mouse, you need to drag the wires from the current position onto the socket of the same colour (e.g. green to green, red to red). If you make a mistake, release the wire and it will retract to the original position. If you make a mistake with the wire positioning, click and drag it out of the socket and it will retract.
