For more information see the answer to the Related questions and also the Related link shown below. <><><> As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed. Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB

What else can I help you with?
Where is the positive wire on reverse light?
The positive wire for the reverse light is typically the one that carries power to the light bulb. It is usually connected to the switch that is activated when the vehicle is put into reverse gear. You can use a multimeter to test which wire is carrying power when the vehicle is in reverse.
How does a wire connect to a bulb?
A wire connects to a bulb by attaching one end of the wire to the metal base of the bulb and the other end to the metal contact on the bulb socket. When the circuit is complete, electricity flows through the wire and powers the bulb, causing it to light up.
How do I re-wire the 3 wire rotary switch to the two socket swag lamp correctly?
One wire is the hot off the plug, one is the hot to one socket, and the third wire is the hot for the second socket. You'll have to check the switch for the exact color code / which wire is which (I don't know if there is a standard). You can test it easily with a multimeter as well.
How do you fix a light switch after two live wires touch?
There has to be more to this question for a good answer. For the most part a light switch has two contacts, with a wire at each one. One live wire and another going to the light itself. There is also a neutral wire return (from the light to the electrical panel). There is only one live wire in any electrical circuit. [Please, don't flame me with examples of multiple electrical sources in circuitry. We're talking about home lighting.] If somehow you shorted the live wire from the switch to the electrical box (ground) or to another wire in the box, it was only momentary and you can just proceed with replacing the switch. It's a good idea to turn off the power first.
I am replacing a old table lamp socket the lamp with a base night light. There are 4 wires 1 back 1 white 2 brown 4 wires total. There are 3 terminals on the socket. Where do the wires go?
If you socket is the same as the one I am trying to replace then you only use 2 wires. 1 black, 1 white (power coming in) and the the night light is attached with the white and the other wire comes from one of the terminals from the socket. The switch is similar to the 3-way switch, 1 for the light in the socket, 1 for the night light..and 1 turns both on. No, mine is different. I have to use four wires. I took mine to the local hardware store where a friend showed me how to rewire it. I then went home and rewired the other one sucessfully. Thanks for the info.
How to test a light socket with a multimeter?
To test a light socket with a multimeter, set the multimeter to the voltage setting. Insert one probe into the hot wire slot and the other probe into the neutral wire slot. If the multimeter reads a voltage, the socket is working. If there is no voltage, the socket may be faulty and further inspection is needed.
What wire is positive in the back up light on a 2001 Chevy siverado?
normally the white wire is but take a test light and a long pice of wire and connect the wire to the battery with one end of it and put the other end on the test light, make sure you dont touch the wire to any medal on the truck, use the test light and test the wires form the bulb socket to see which one lights up, that will give you the ground wire
You keep blowing the brake light fuse in your focus?
Are both your brake lights blowing out? If it affects only one light: it could be a bad light socket, or a pinched or frayed wire that is shorting out.
Where is the fuse for the left rear brake light on a 2002 highlander?
The fuse for BOTH brake lights is the same. If one light operates and the other one doesn't it is probably not the fuse. Check the bulb for need of replacement or perhaps the wire leading to the socket (or the socket itself) is bad.
Why does only one tail light come on in your 2007 dodge charger?
Top two reasons; 1) the light bulb is burnt out, or 2) the wire harness isn't fully attached to the light socket.
Where is the positive wire on reverse light?
The positive wire for the reverse light is typically the one that carries power to the light bulb. It is usually connected to the switch that is activated when the vehicle is put into reverse gear. You can use a multimeter to test which wire is carrying power when the vehicle is in reverse.

How do you wire a switch to a light?
To wire a switch to a light, you connect the hot wire from the power source to one terminal on the switch, then connect another wire from the other terminal of the switch to the hot terminal on the light fixture. Finally, connect the neutral wires from the power source and the light fixture together.
How to wire 2 lights to one switch?
To wire two lights to one switch, you will need to connect the power source to the switch, then run a wire from the switch to the first light, and another wire from the first light to the second light. Make sure to follow proper safety precautions and consult a professional if needed.
How does a 3 wire light switch function in a typical electrical circuit?
A 3-wire light switch functions in a typical electrical circuit by controlling the flow of electricity to the light fixture. One wire brings power to the switch, another wire carries power to the light, and the third wire is used for grounding. When the switch is turned on, it completes the circuit, allowing electricity to flow from the power source to the light, turning it on.
How do I re-wire the 3 wire rotary switch to the two socket swag lamp correctly?
One wire is the hot off the plug, one is the hot to one socket, and the third wire is the hot for the second socket. You'll have to check the switch for the exact color code / which wire is which (I don't know if there is a standard). You can test it easily with a multimeter as well.
How to wire two lights to one switch?
To wire two lights to one switch, you will need to connect the power source to the switch, then run a wire from the switch to the first light, and another wire from the first light to the second light. This creates a series circuit where both lights are controlled by the same switch. Make sure to follow proper safety precautions and consult a professional if needed.
