What does an open switch look like?

An open switch position typically means the switch is in the off or disconnected state, where the circuit is broken. In a physical switch, the lever or toggle would be in the "off" position, indicating the open circuit.


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.

What does a circuit breaker look like for 110 volt?

A circuit breaker for a 110 volt system typically resembles a rectangular switch within a breaker box or electrical panel. It may have a switch or lever that can be toggled to the "on" or "off" position to control the flow of electricity in the circuit. The amperage rating on the breaker will indicate how much current it can safely handle before tripping to protect the circuit from overload.


Why does the breaker trip after changing a receptacle?

I do not even know that it is the light switch that is popping your circuit breaker! It may be the switch or something else. The light switch controls a circuit. As electricity passes through that circuit it is heating up a contact or a weak place in a wire. At a certain point that hot place in a connector or in a wire allows the electricity to jump out of the circuit and not go through the light. When that happens, the circuit breaker pops. You can turn off the circuit breaker. Then you can look at the connectors on your light switch. If one of them looks burned, You have solved the problem. You replace the light switch. Next comes the more difficult task of looking at the connectors for your lamp. If they are not easy to get to, you call an electrician.

Why won't the brake lights go off even after the key is removed on a 2002 Pontiac Aztek?

Sounds like the switch that attches to the brake pedal is not disconnecting. Look up under the dash and look where there is a device that moves when you move the pedal in and out. That should be your brake light activation switch. When you depress the pedal the switch makes contact and the brake lights come on, when you leave off the pedal the switch should open breakign the circuit. Look at the switch and see if it needs adjusted or if the switch is bad and will not disconnect thus completing the circuit makign the lights stay on
