Why does your motorcycle circuit breaker pop when you hit the brake?

Check the wire that goes to your break light. Somewhere along the circuit it is grounded before the lamp and after the switch. Look on the circuit from the switch to the lamp. What is happening is, the circuit is good up to the time that you apply the break. This closes that brake light switch, When the switch closes it sees the dead short and not the lamp. The breaker popping is protecting the circuit wiring from burning up.

How do you know if you hit a wire in the wall while hanging a picture?
If the breaker does not trip or a circuit stops working, you don't. Proper installation of house wiring puts the conductors in the middle of the stud. 1.5" in a 2X4 wall and 2.75" in a 2X6 wall. Picture hanging nails should not protrude that far into the wall.
You were changing the light bulb in your Kenmore dryer with the power on and hit the hot terminal on the dryer causing a spark the house breaker does not seem to be tripped. model?
It takes a finite amount of time to trip a breaker. The short you caused may not have tripped the breaker. If the dryer is no longer working there may be an internal reset that has tripped.
How do you wire a shunt trip breaker so you can test trip it?
There are per-engineered shunt trip solutions such as the Littelfuse LPSM that have a transformer that isolates the line voltage from the control voltage. You simply wire the N.O. contact on the float in the shunt trip isolated contacts.
What if your bathrooms outlets are not working 4 outlets but the circuit breaker is not fliped How do you figure out what the problem is?
Your bathroom outlets might be connected to a GFCI Outlet. The Ground Fault Circuit Intercept outlet prevents you from electrocuting yourself in the odd chance that you drop an electrical appliance into the water of the bath tub while you're in it. Look around and see if there's one outlet with 2 buttons on it labeled Test and Reset and if you find one hit the Reset button and see if the other outlets start working.
Can a bad outlet cause a breaker to trip even though nothing is plugged into it?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries using similar 60Hz household electricity suppliesLoss of service has me confused, loss of service from the service panel, or loss of service of the series of outlets on the circuit...? If you are referring to the outlets, then you most likely have an open circuit: a wire may not be connected to one of the outlets, not completing the circuit. What I would do is turn the breaker on and off then plug something into the outlets and see where you are losing power.It could even just be a loose wire. If you still do not have any power and you do not have - or really know how to use - an electrical test meter, I would suggest you seek help.Popping a breaker means a heavy load I do not know what type of panel box you have or how old it is, you still need an electrical meter or help to correct this problem if the breaker failed to trip.Non-functioning outlets(LIFE SAFETY WARNING! [disclaimer] Electricity is dangerous!You can be injured or killed!Improper installations can cause fire, injury and death!Should you be doing this yourself?)1.] The breaker may be tripped, but not have an external mechanical indication [the handle stuck]. Reset your breakers anyway and the circuit may reset.2.] The breaker may have failed and needs to be replaced.3.] One of the splices or screw termination connections for the conductors in the circuit failed completely or partially and needs to be repaired.4.] There is some device in the circuit you have not recognized that is interrupting the circuit.If there is a bad/failed connection at a device it can often be because a "speed-wire" connection - those little stab hole terminations - in the back of a device has failedAnd remember that it can be the Hot OR the Neutral that is open! IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THISWORK SAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.If you do this work yourself, always turn off the powerat the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work ANDalways use an electrician's test meter having metal-tipped probes(not a simple proximity voltage indicator)to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Where is the brake light switch in a 1988 740 Volvo?
Look under the dash on the driver's side, half way down the brake pedal. When you depress the brake pedal, the pedal moves away from this switch, which allows the brake light pedal circuit to complete, and your brake lights come on. This brake light switch is always hot/on, as required by federal law, so that even with no key in the ignition, if you hit your brake pedal, the brake lights will come on.
Why does your car engine wont start after you hit apot hole on highway?
Vehicles with electronic fuel pumps(electric pumps in the fuel tank)have an impact circuit breaker.If the vehicle is involved in an accident the circuit breaker will open and shut off power to the fuel pump.Some are more sensitive than others and when you hit a pot hole hard it will trip.Look in your owners manual on how to reset it and were it's located.
