A very common problem is a glove box or trunk light that is not turning off due to a defective or mis-adjusted switch. Try temporarily removing these two lamps and see if your problem goes away.

a fault is a large crack in the earth. a fold is when the ground gets bent.
Can you use alkaline battery even if it says use lithium battery?
yes if it blows up though its not my fault
The device used to deenergize circuits automatically when a very small ground fault current flows is the?
A ground fault circuit interrupter is the device used to de-energize the circuit.
Will a new battery fix the charging problem for dell inspiron 1525?
Not necessarily. There could be different components at fault when your laptop fails to charge properly - the power supply (power brick), the charging circuitry inside the laptop for the battery, and/or the battery itself (which in itself also has a circuit for diagnosis, telemetry [battery level, battery health], and overcharge protection).
Which of the following definitions describes a circuit breaker ground fault circuit interrupter?
The first definition, by the electrical code, covers it perfectly.
What is the GFCI?
A "GFCI" is a ground fault circuit interrupter. For more information see the link below.
What does fault mean on 12 volt battery chargers?
What kind of a charger it this? You should check the manual first. It may mean several things. Maybe there's no equipent ground on the outlet you are using. Or maybe the battery draws unexpectedly high current, like there is a short circuit in it, etc. etc...
Honda civic 1990 does not crank nor start?
Battery flat Bad battery connections Bad engine earth (ground) Ignition switch faulty Immoboliser fault Starter motor faulty Auto gear box inhibitor switch fault.
How do you wire a ground fault switch?
To replace the wire ground fault switch, you need to switch off electric power from the source. After switching it off you can use the screwdriver to open screw and remove the faulty switch and replace it with a good one. <<>> There is no such a device as a ground fault switch. There is a ground fault breaker and a ground fault receptacle.
What part of speech is locate?
Locate is a verb. For example: Engineers worked to locate the fault responsible for the earthquake. Locatable, a derivative of locate, is an adjective. Location is a noun.
What do ground fault relays do?
Ground fault relays sense ground faults in the circuit and trigger a circuit breaker to trip off

The three types are Line to ground faults line to line fault double line to ground fault three phase line to ground fault
How can you locate a Ground Fault break?
A ground fault happens when (usually mains) electricity is conducted outside it's intended path and tries to get to ground by the shortest path. If you touch something 'hot' electrically while you are grounded, or are also touching something that is grounded, you will become that shortest path to ground and will be shocked and possible killed. A ground fault can occur in normal mains wiring. For example, if a conductor is not properly insulated and it touches another conductor or the conduit it runs through it can can 'short circuit' to ground causing a ground fault. A ground fault can also occur in a defective or miswired electrical receptacle or appliance. To find the fault you have to be familiar with wiring for the structure in question, and have to trace the wiring through it's circuit, possibly to the mains connection to the structure. For example, if you know that certain problem plug receptacles in a particular house are on their own circuit, you can open them and may be able to visually check for shorts and that the wires are connected properly.
How will you locate the fault in pre amplifier?
it is simply the voltage of the system
When charging battery charger surges why?
You could have a fault in the battery or even a short if so replace the battery
What is a difference between ground fault and earth fault?
They mean the same thing, a current to ground/earth that shouldn't exist in the circuit.
The device used to de-energize circuits automatically when a very small ground-fault current flow is the?
Ground fault interupter.
