When an electric switch is pushed, it completes a circuit that allows electricity to flow to the light fixture in the room. The electricity energizes the light bulb, causing it to emit light. The light then illuminates the room, allowing you to see.

Do The phases of the moon depend on how much of the lighted side of the moon can be seen from Earth?

Yes. There is always (except during certain eclipses) half of the moon illuminated. However, there is no 'dark side of the moon' per se. The same part of the moon is always facing the earth, but the part that is lighted changes by the minute, just as it does on Earth.

Why an electric main switch is turned off by pulling the handle downward where as a general light switch is turned on by pressing downward?

Ordinary household light switches are usually installed so that they turn off in the downward position. If yours turn on by pressing downward, it just means that someone installed them upside down. Electrical mains are designed and installed so that gravity would tend to open them not close them.

How do you get to electric window switch on a Ford Windstar?

Since the window control switch is mounted in the door panel, the likely first step is to remove the panel - See "Related Questions" below for specifics.With the panel off, you'll be able to see how it actually attaches to the panel - probably just a friction fit - pushing it out from the backside should work...The switch itself is likely held into the door panel by spring clips - try prying upwards at the front and back.With the switch out, disconnect the wiring connector and swap in the new switch.

Where is the thermostat for the radiator fan on Mazda 323 1985 - 1989?

I believe you are refering to the thermal switch for the electric fan. The switch is located on the bottom tank of the radiator on the driver's side (left-hand drive), just above the drain plug. This switch is a thread-in type with two round prongs where the wires connect. To remove/replace, drain the radiator first, then using a 21 mm socket or wrench, unthreadd the switch from the radiator. There is a second switch which threads into the thermostat housing loacted on the back on the engine head. This switch is part of the emmission control system and also controls the electric fan. Before you remove or replace the radiator switch, disconnect the wire from the thermostat housing switch first, to test the rad switch and electric fan. (I had to do this job just last weekend).
