How do I find out what my wire is rated for my electrical wire?

I bought a new stove and plug that is 50 amp. My fuses on my wire to the stove is 35amp. I want to see if I can just change out my fuses to make it 50 amp, but I dont know what the rating is on my wire going to the stove.How do I find out what my wire is rated for my electrical wire?
I think an easy way to measure your wire would be to:



1) Go to the panel box and shut off the breaker. Lock it out in case someone decides to turn it on again when you are working on it.



2) Take off the Faceplate to the receptacle. Pull out the receptacle and use a pair of wire strippers to measure the wire gauge of the wire.



3) If the wire is 8awg or smaller it should be replaced with 6 awg wire.





Some info from the National Electrical Code:



210.19(A)(1) Branch circuit conductors shall (this means mandatory) have an ampacity not less than the maximum load to be served.



Table 310.16 shows that 8 awg is rated for 40 amps and 6 awg is rated for 55 amps.



210.19(A)(3) Exception number 2; A neutral conductor of a 3 wire branch circuit supplying a household range shall have an ampacity of not less than 70 percent of the branch circuit rating and shall not be smaller than 10 awg.



This is because on a 120/240 3 wire branch circuit the neutral conductor carries only the unbalanced current between the two hot leads. To calculate this multiply 50 amps X .70. So your neutral conductor needs only to be rated for 35 amps. An 8 awg wire would suffice for the neutral.





What is the nameplate rating of your range?How do I find out what my wire is rated for my electrical wire?
Wire is rated for amps by the wire size. It would be unsafe to raise the fuse to a 50 if the current wire is sized for 35. You would be better leaving the fuse as a 35.How do I find out what my wire is rated for my electrical wire?
You must look at the wires themselves to first determine their gage and secondly, you must determine their length(run) between the fuse box and the outlet. The longer the run,the larger in diameter the wires must be, to handle the total amperage the appliance can consume at it's most loaded moment. These details are necessary to know so that you can work the necessary mathematics to calculate what size wire is needed to complete the job with a margin of safety. These calculations must include a recommended service supply box along with recommended fuse types.-Again, their must be a margin of safety involved. Better to over-build the wiring AND install the correct type of fuse.How do I find out what my wire is rated for my electrical wire?
if all you have on that line is the stove, you will be fine with everything as is.How do I find out what my wire is rated for my electrical wire?
Look at the wire going to the stove breaker in your panel.

The size is printed on the wire.

If it was a 35A breaker it should be 8 AWG.

The bad news is that for 50A. You need 6 AWG.

(Those numbers are for copper wire.)

Don't try to put a 50A. fuse in front of 8 wire.

It will overheat eventually with risk of fire.

  • My ignition does not turn on anything nor crank over engine, any ideas?

    I have a '92 Chevy c1500, 350 5.7 litre engine. last week i tried to start it. turned the key to the start position, dash indicators, radio, heater and buzzer came on like normal. Went to crank over the engine and everything cut out. It normally costs $130 to tow it to the nearest technician shop ($65 there and back). Plus $65/hr for labor costs just to figure out the problem. Don't know how much for the parts they usually try to scam you into getting. So I have checked all connections from battery to starter to ignition switch. Checked all switches and fuses. Changed the starter, ignition switch and park/neutral switch. Battery works fine only a year old, and head lights including high beams, dome light and under-hood light all come on except there isn't a buzzer when I turn them on with ignition off. Normally there is a buzzer. most of my fiancee's family has worked on or with Chevy's and don't have a clue what it could be. I have even tried pushing up the shifter. Please help!My ignition does not turn on anything nor crank over engine, any ideas?
    Does your solenoid click when you try to start it? If so, you have a poor connection, low battery or a bad solenoid. If you know your batteries pretty good, (try your horn) use a 12-volt test light to check for power to the small terminal on the starter solenoid, connecting the alligator clip to the battery negative terminal. If it lights up, change the solenoid. If not, work your way back through the circuit, and/or check for engine ground. (see Galen B's post) You can try the screwdriver jump across the terminals, just make sure the screwdriver doesn't touch any metal besides the small terminal while it's touching the main terminal, or it's 4th of July time. This is a lot safer when the starter is out of the car.My ignition does not turn on anything nor crank over engine, any ideas?
    Check to see if you have a good ground. If that motor is not grounded, then that would be your problem. I went through hell to figure that out on my 80 K30. I wish I would have thought to check for a good ground first. Good luck.My ignition does not turn on anything nor crank over engine, any ideas?
    99.9%starter or wires to itMy ignition does not turn on anything nor crank over engine, any ideas?
    The battery may not have the amount of amps. you need to turn the starter Have the battery checked for cranking amps.to see if it could take the amps that the starter would need.My ignition does not turn on anything nor crank over engine, any ideas?
    I had the sam thing happen to me and it was my coil which is mounted under the distributer cap if that is not it take out your module which is mounted under the dist. cap and autozone or oreillys will check it for free.My ignition does not turn on anything nor crank over engine, any ideas?
    You didn't mention the ground cable. Run a booster cable from the negative side of the battery to the engine block and try again. If that works, you are not getting the ground from the battery.

    You should also be able to jumper a screwdriver across the starter from where the positive wire connects to the starter to where the ignition wire connects to the starter. This will bypass the ignition switch. If this starts it, the problem is in the ignition circuit. I don't know if there is a relay in the ignition line.My ignition does not turn on anything nor crank over engine, any ideas?
    Galen B has got your answer. Just don't stand directly in front of the vehicle when you do this and keep you hand OFF the metal part of the screwdriver.

    Ultrasonic cleaning unit needs repaired?

    Recently someone gave me an L%26amp;R ultrasonic cleaning unit that was broken, after changing the fuse the machine would turn on but it smoked under the tub, turning the tub over I found that there are two disks glued to the bottom of the tub and one of them is cracked. I don't know much about these things and simply giving the name of the part would be a great help (though if you know how to repair, or where to attain a new one don't hold back =))

    Buick odometer light broken?

    anyone know how to fix it? will just changing the fuse do it?Buick odometer light broken?
    Nope fus is for the entire dash lights. I bet it is burnt out. I replaced mine in my Truck from superbriteleds.com and replaced all of them with an orange light LED you never have to remove the dash again..

    How do you change the desktop computer's audio fuse?

    At least I think that's the problem since I pluged the speakers wire to to the microphone outlet instead of the headphone outlet.How do you change the desktop computer%26039;s audio fuse?
    Restart the computer and plug the speakers into the correct jack. Should work fine. Plugging speakers into a mic jack won't do any harm, in fact, they could work as a microphone.



    There is no fuse.

    Tail light and dash light out '97?

    My dashboard light (where the spedometer is) and my tail lights are out. The tail light works when i press on the brake. I changed the fuse (which was blown) and they still dont work. What else can i check and fix? And how do i do it? I have no idea what im doing and dont have the money to take it somewhere.Tail light and dash light out %26039;97?
    fuse blown, might have also blown out bulbs when the fuse blew out, check might be more than one fuseTail light and dash light out %26039;97?
    Did you change the bulbs? That is the most likely next step. It sounds like you are indicating the brake lights are functional but the either the reverse light or turn lights are not functioning. Nonetheless you have multiple bulbs un the tail light assembly so one of them may be out. As for the dash first check the dimmer for the dash lights and see if that has been turned down, if all the lights on the dash are out it is more likely a fuse or other electrical problem, if some lights work and some don't it is more likely to be a bad bulb. Dash lights are more difficult to change but not impossible. Good luck!Tail light and dash light out %26039;97?
    The brake lights sounds simple. If it works when you apply the brakes, you've used the wrong kind of bulb. Some bulb s have two filaments, one that is one when you have your head lights on and the other when you apply the brakes. Your nearest auto parts store can resolve that quickly. As far as your dash light goes, thats gonna be tricky. Check again to assure you used the right fuse. If you did use the right fuse you might need to take apart the dash and replace the bulb which can be time consuming and tricky. If its not in your budget, you can learn to live without that little light. Buena Suerte.Tail light and dash light out %26039;97?
    Check and see if the fuse is blown again but before you replace it walk around the car and see if any of the parking lights in the front or rear have water in them or were hit and broken, or see if there is rust in the bulb sockets which will cause a short. This includes the side marker bulbs which are on the same circuit in most vehicles. If you don't find a problem take all the running lights out and put a new fuse in and see if it blows or not. If the fuse doesn't blow put one bulb at a time back in their sockets and make sure they light up. When one lights and goes out right away you've found the shorted circuit. Keep in mind there may be something else in the same circuit, maybe a cigarette lighter etc. which could be the problem. Any loose change in an accessory socket?Keep looking you'll find it.

    well in some eyes there is suck thing as a perfect man .although for me it would depend on what the man as being judged for and why and than ,what makes him perfect would be in the eye of the beholder so i would say yes there is such thing as a perfect man in some peoples mind but may i remind everyone that no one is perfect and that we are all sinners and there is no such thing as perfect as everyone sees things differently and we all have flaws therefore my answer would be no no man nor we man would or should be perfect some people ask questions before thought this one took very little thought and alto of common seance i hope that people will think before they speak and listen to learn and oUr world would be much easier and if Ur looking for the perfect man than i am sorry to tell u you will never find it unless ur looking in a differ ant demean er so to speak life is way more enjoyable than looking for perfection look for other things and u may find life is more pleasurable than you think!!!!Is there such a thing as the perfect man?

    Can anyone help with my 2000 Oldsmobile Alero?

    I have a 2000 Oldsmobile Alero that I just bought used, however, there's a few problems. The car runs very well but there's a few inconveniences that I would like fixed. The first problem is the driver's side speaker to the stereo. It works but the sound is very faint. Any reason why this would happen and how I can fix it? The other two things that don't work are the remote mirrors and button to open the trunk. Do I need to change the fuse to these in order for them to work? Thanks in advance. I appreciate it.Can anyone help with my 2000 Oldsmobile Alero?
    It is possible the speaker is just blown, but I checked the schematic for the trunk release and it shares a fuse in the IP fuse block with the radio amp. As for the mirrors that fuse is also in the IP fuse panel.

    Either you have multiple issues or maybe a main problem in the IP fuse block, possibly a water leak or loose wires.Can anyone help with my 2000 Oldsmobile Alero?
    I have the perfect solution.



    Sell that poor car before something inevitably major occurs.Can anyone help with my 2000 Oldsmobile Alero?
    the speaker is probably blown,for the mirrors check the fuse and the trunk too there is fuses for all electronics parts in the car.

    Could you annotate this poem please?

    - What is happening in 'The Chucky'

    - How does the writer use language to interest the reader?



    My grandmother

    works the chucky. She funnels

    A handful of maize* into the hole

    just as her mother used to do.

    Sometimes she feels the grainy texture

    Of her grandmother聮s palm.

    Once, the mud dried room

    Filled with the spirits of all our mothers.

    But usually all she can see

    Is her ageing hand, all she can feel

    Is an aching absence.

    My mother

    Has a Philips grinder and my sister

    Knows how to change the fuse.

    And when they make roasted maize

    We always have it with spinach

    And lots of butter. Sometimes the scents

    Bring my grandmother back

    Before our eyes, and we recall

    The story of how our mother

    Ran in with our father to tell

    My grandmother of their plans to go to England.

    Of how the grinding stopped and the flour

    Spilt and the sudden silence

    Was interrupted by a gust

    Which shut the door on the light.Could you annotate this poem please?
    Read the question - what is it asking you - what happens in the poem, how does the poet use language to interest the reader? So your response should focus on the words used and why you think they have been employed.



    Firstly %26quot;chucky%26quot; - an unusual, dialect word, which makes the reader want to find out more about this strange device.



    The repitition of %26quot;mother%26quot; is also interesting, emphasising a ritual that has been passed down from mother to daughter. This is a connection with the past, and somehow the graininess of the maize reminds her grandmother of this, with her feeling the same sensations as her mother must have done.



    I think %26quot;mud-dried%26quot; is also interesting as it highlights the primitive nature of the surroundings and the primal, simple nature of the task. This is a natural process, as is the drying out of mud in sunlight, which has been carried out since time immemorial.



    %26quot;Aching absence%26quot; - note the assonance of the repeated %26quot;a%26quot; sound describes the pain of death and a loss of a loved one.



    The traditional, family ritual of grinding the maize is contrasted with modern technology %26quot;My mother has a Philips grinder and my sister / Knows how to change the fuse%26quot; - whether this is positive (i.e. knowledge is still being passed on from generation to generation) or negative (the feel of the corn in the hands and the skill involved has been automated and as a result a connection with the past is lost) I think is ambiguous. However, I think the poet is saying that there is a fundamental change by moving to modern technology, which although is labour saving, disconnects us from the past.



    This is reinforced by the shock of her mother telling her grandmother of their plans to leave. She runs in with excitement, interrupting the calm scene and disrupting the ancient ritual. The grinding of the corn is a metaphor for the way a younger generation has broken with the past, shown by the spilt flour and the closing of the door with the wind. Note the sibilance of %26quot;sudden silence%26quot; and the simple, monosyllabic words which end the poem. There is no words adequate to express her grandmother's grief, so the poet is content with a simple depiction of the finality of the door shutting. The grandmother is left alone, with an %26quot;aching absence%26quot;.



    I thought this was a brilliant poem. It reminds me of Edwin Muir's classic poem %26quot;Horses%26quot; - describing how the survivors of a nuclear war have to abandon modern technology and rediscover the horse.Could you annotate this poem please?

    (Poem start's here)

    My grandmother

    works the chucky. She funnels

    A handful of maize* into the hole

    just as her mother used to do.

    Sometimes she feels the grainy texture

    Of her grandmother聮s palm.

    Once, the mud dried room

    Filled with the spirits of all our mothers.

    But usually all she can see

    Is her ageing hand, all she can feel

    Is an aching absence.

    My mother

    Has a Philips grinder and my sister

    (Welcome to the middle of the poem!)

    Knows how to change the fuse.

    And when they make roasted maize

    We always have it with spinach

    And lots of butter. Sometimes the scents

    Bring my grandmother back

    Before our eyes, and we recall

    The story of how our mother

    Ran in with our father to tell

    My grandmother of their plans to go to England.

    Of how the grinding stopped and the flour

    Spilt and the sudden silence

    Was interrupted by a gust

    Which shut the door on the light.

    91 honda accord brake light problem?

    my brake light is out again, it went out once and i replaced the bulb which did nothing.. then changed the fuse and it worked. then a couple days later it isn't working again for some reason. anybody know how to fix this?91 honda accord brake light problem?
    I'd change the two brake light sockets , plus run a new ground wire from the trunk to the brake lights.Any good parts store should be able to supply or order you those sockets , just be sure to use the same gauge of wire and a o-ring wire connector etc.



    Hope that helps and best of luck.Merry Xmas91 honda accord brake light problem?
    90-93 accords have brake light control modules on them(black box mounted to the back off light)they go bad.get new taillight harness %26amp; module from dealer they are sold seprate left or right sides.

    2006 Kia Sedona won't start?

    I have a 2006 Kia Sedona. I bought it 4 months ago. 2 weeks after buying it, it would not start. All the lights would come on, the radio would play, and the headlights would come on. It would not even try to crank. It was like when you try to crank a car while it is in gear. Anyway, I took it to the dealer since it was still under warranty. They made me change the battery, and it would still do the same thing. Then they tried changing the fuse box, and that still did not work. Now it is doing it again, and it is getting frustrating. My belief is that the sensor that recognizes the vehicle is in park is malfunctioning. Any ideas on what it could be, because the dealer either will not or does not know how to fix it?2006 Kia Sedona won%26039;t start?
    could be a faulty neutral safety switch2006 Kia Sedona won%26039;t start?
    Try pushing the gear shifter further back while trying to start it. Do this in P and in N. There might be a particular spot in the P and N range where it starts. I've had 2 F250's that both did this. One is a '69 and the other was a '98.



    It could also be a bad starter, and that's what I bet it is. The dealer just put in a different used battery that they had on hand. They didn't want to shell out the bucks to replace your starter. Tell them that.

    Some lights out on my dashboard. What's wrong?

    I have a 1995 Ford Explorer XLT. The car is in good condition...except that the left lights are not working on the dashboard. This translates to the fact that I cannot see the speedometer and other dashboard gauges at night.



    The right half of the dashboard lights work perfectly fine. However, the radio lights do not work properly. I cannot see the stations, even though the radio works.



    Do you think this is a fuse problem?



    How can you tell that they are bad? I don't have any equipment to do this, so it would be great if I could figure this out without such quipment.



    If so, how do I change the fuses? Can I purchase them at AutoZone?



    Thanks!!! Some lights out on my dashboard. What%26039;s wrong?
    you have burnt out bulbs behind the gauges.Some lights out on my dashboard. What%26039;s wrong?
    It's probably some of the bulbs are burned out.Some lights out on my dashboard. What%26039;s wrong?
    most probably it fuse. please locate the fuse box it can be found it your car manual and check the correct amp to buy

    Ive just realised the driver side rear lights on my MK4 Golf are not working, how do I get them back on?

    Im not sure if its a fuse as the whole console is out, Ive looked in the Manual and it doesnt give any info on how to change a fuse etc.Ive just realised the driver side rear lights on my MK4 Golf are not working, how do I get them back on?
    Buy a Bentely Manual for your model. This is the most comprehensive manual for VW's you will ever see! It shows how to break down and reassemble every part/section of the car, including full wiring diagrams! My MK3 Bentely manual is 800 pages!



    Another option is to go to an Autozone, O'Reily's, Pepboys, etc., you frequent and just look at their Chilton/Haynes manuals off the shelf. Then buy the parts from them. My local place doesn't care I do this because I buy the parts from them!Ive just realised the driver side rear lights on my MK4 Golf are not working, how do I get them back on?
    Could take forever to figure that out...fuse, blown bulb, loose or disconnected wire?

    Probably a fuse though if your console is also out...maybe it just came out of it's fuse holder.

    Good luck but, might be best just to stop at the dealer and see if they'll do a quick (perhaps no charge) troubleshoot or at least point you to the fusebox.Ive just realised the driver side rear lights on my MK4 Golf are not working, how do I get them back on?
    I found this tut but its not your car.

    You shouldnt have to pull the whole tailight assembley out unless you cant take the connector off inside the car. Check to see if the filament is still intack if not replace. Swap the bulbs from working side to the non working side If it works now then the bulb is blown If it doesnt then It might be the fuse. Locate the fuse box(most likely under the dash or in the glove box). http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1552992 Find the corresponding fuse pull it out with some pliars and check the center if its blown (could be 13-10AMP 22-5AMP but check all of them later)http://www.edmunds.com/media/ownership/howto/fuse/fuse.5.350.jpg (fuse should look similar to this style)

    If you cant tell swap a different fuse (remember where you got it from) with the same amp rating stamped on the top and test. If it blows then you have a bad connection and a wire grounding somewhere along the line.

  • The heat in my car seems to be working but there is no air blowing out of the vents. Help please!!?

    I have a 96 grand am and I am not sure how to go about fixing the heat/ac. It gets hot and when I am driving the air comes out of the vents a little but not the way it should. I tried to change the fuse that was blown and that worked for about thirty seconds before the new fuse blew. I tried another and that one blew as soon as I put it in. I was told that it may be the blower motor but I am not sure. Not sure what to do. I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!!The heat in my car seems to be working but there is no air blowing out of the vents. Help please!!?
    Ok the problem has to to do with the blower motor or the blower motor resistor when you turn on the fan does the fan work at any speeds? If it works at one or two then its just the resistor if not then check the fuses and if they are good then more than likely you need to replace the blower motor then your back in business.The heat in my car seems to be working but there is no air blowing out of the vents. Help please!!?
    sounds like the blower motor is sizeing upThe heat in my car seems to be working but there is no air blowing out of the vents. Help please!!?
    i think you need to talk to an automotive air conditioning business in your area. One that specializes in air conditioning and heating only. Not one that does glass and everything else.The heat in my car seems to be working but there is no air blowing out of the vents. Help please!!?
    Sounds like the blower to me. On most cars it is in the engine compartment. Near the firewall. It shouldn't be to hard to change. Buy a new one and open the hood and find the part that looks like it and trade them out.The heat in my car seems to be working but there is no air blowing out of the vents. Help please!!?
    If fuses blow repeatedly, then unfortunately your blower motor is probably toast. Now it could be some wiring shorting out, and to be safe you'd want the mechanic to have a look at that too; but I lean heavy toward a bad blower.

    Upgrading Fluorescent tube bulb 20w for marine tank?

    I currently have a fluorescent tube light with 20w (not sure of how much K it has).. it was a default one that came with my starter tank kit... and I am looking for upgrade it since I have some reef in my tank now...



    My first question is: can I get those fluorescent that are sold in hardware stores (homedepo/rona) that promise higher Watts and Kelvin (and are cheaper)? or do i have to buy the special ones from aquarium stores?



    Question 2:

    If i am upgrading it to a higher watts do i need to change the fuse (there is a green fuse in my light hood) and the ballasts? or whats the max that i can go?





    Thank YouUpgrading Fluorescent tube bulb 20w for marine tank?
    You can use fluorescents from the hardware store if they are the right length and wattage for your tank. They probably won't have quite the same color of light as the special aquarium lighting, but that's largely a matter of taste, unless you're keeping some very specialized plants or invertebrates.



    The issue is that with straight-tube fluorescent lights the wattage is tied to the length of the tube.

    A 20-watt tube usually fits in a 24-inch fixture, and you won't find a bulb with a wattage much higher or lower that will fit in the same fixture.



    You should also look at the %26quot;T%26quot; number of a fluorescent tube. One %26quot;T%26quot; equals one-eighth inch of tube diameter, so a %26quot;T8%26quot; tube is one inch in diameter, a %26quot;T12%26quot; bulb is an inch and a half in diameter, and so on. In my experience, a tube with one %26quot;T%26quot; number usually won't fit in a fixture designed for a different %26quot;T%26quot; number, even if the bulb is the right length.

    %26quot;T5%26quot; bulbs are considerably more efficient than %26quot;T8%26quot; bulbs, but also more expensive and harder to find.



    You could use %26quot;High Output%26quot; or %26quot;Very High Output%26quot; tubes, but those would require changing your ballast and starter in the fixture. If you're doing that, you may as well retrofit your fixture for Compact Fluorescent tubes, which are both brighter and more efficient. Any of these options will give you more light, but at a cost of higher electricity usage and more heat.



    LED aqarium lights use much less electricity and produce much less heat (for a given amount of light), and also last longer than fluorescent tubes, but they are still quite expensive. I hope the price will go down as they become more popular.



    A higher Kelvin %26quot;temperature%26quot;, by the way, just means the light is bluer. If you are trying to simulate a deep-water environment, a rather blue light (around 20,000 K) is good, but in shallower water, the light spectrum is closer to sunlight. Sunlight (in air) is around 5,000 K, and thus has much more red and yellow relative to blue than a 20,000 K light.

    Wrong fuel relay installed--burnt relay fuse box now--truck stalls with new relay as it it shorting out?

    on Dec 6/07 we took our 1996 Suburban for a block heater and u-joint to our local service station. After picking up truck we got 5 miles out and realized we were over red line--they neglected to replace the antifreeze.Towed us in--replaced fluids-sent on way.8 days later fuel relay goes-replaced it.2 weeks later fuel pump goes-replaced it.2 weeks later we started stalling out-sometimes completely,sometimes just loss of power for a second or two.Took it to garage--said possible C02 sensor-sent on way-still stalling. 3 weeks we stalled,one day it wouldn't start. Towed us in.Service station claims they found the problem--the fuel relay fuse was burnt and the connection it plugs into was burnt so they cleaned up all connections and sent us on our way.5 days later it starts stalling(9 times/7 miles)Take to a different mechanic--found problem--fuel relay is red hot--it is the wrong relay!now we have the right relay, connection inside is still burnt. How do you change connections in fuse box?Wrong fuel relay installed--burnt relay fuse box now--truck stalls with new relay as it it shorting out?
    If the fuel relay is burning up, then you have an issue with either poor connections in the fuel circuit, poor grounds in the circuit or the pump is pulling too much amperage. Take the vehicle to the dealer. I would install an ammeter and see what the current draw is on this circuit. I would then perform voltage drop tests to check for poor connections. This problem is most likely out of the service station's grasp.Wrong fuel relay installed--burnt relay fuse box now--truck stalls with new relay as it it shorting out?
    Well some fuse boxes you'll find unused relay sockets or fuse sockets and you could then you proper wire and connectors to simply pop an old circuit out of a vehicle at the auto wreckers and connect it up to the old box.Or you could buy a universal relay housing that you could simply add to the old fuse box via proper gauged wires or replace the whole fuse box

    If anybody knows how to peel and wrap wires so they can be soldiered and then a special heat sink tube added as insulation then I'd probably change the whole fuse box and by the way if it's the under hood fuse box their actually called power distribution centres and aren't that hard to replace if you've the basic know how.After all the fuse box might be melted more then you think it is and it's not good to use the old relay socket.But basically the wires you see going to the relay via connectors should pop out but I'm not sure on that vehicle if their like that.



    Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way I would check for bad or burnt or melted ground wires too , plus to me getting another power distribution centre would help you in figuring out whats the best way to fix that problem.Wrong fuel relay installed--burnt relay fuse box now--truck stalls with new relay as it it shorting out?
    WOW! Sounds like it's time to call an attorney.Wrong fuel relay installed--burnt relay fuse box now--truck stalls with new relay as it it shorting out?
    hi there..

    If the mechanc says it ok and its working you may not have to do anything other thatn check the wires to make sure they are not burnt through casuing a shortage.

    The reason it burnt was becasue the relay was to low rated drthe system tried to draw too much power though it so it got too hot

    If i remember rightly the relay is in the fuse box under the hood yep....

    You could get the repair workshop manual and look it will show you haw to replace the fuse box.... I am not 100% sure but i think some suburbans the fuse box is wired in such away that it you would need to buy a complete wiring harnes ... which i would not attemp to fit myself ...

    You could unscrew the fuse box look under ans fee how its wired and if you can by pass the connector adn splice in a new one

    Or you can clean the connectors and put the relay back in the fuse box.....

    Can someone explain rewiring a house to me?

    We're buying a brick colonial home in Westchester, NY, built in 1940 and it still has the old 60 Amp fuse box. First off, does a home like this have to be ENTIRELY re-wired - or can we just do the first floor, where we'll have our kitchen appliances and other things that are big energy users? Upstairs we'll merely have some lamps, not even a TV. Better still, can we get away with not re-wiring at all, and just change the fuse box to a circuit breaker? How will we know? We don't have much money for extensive electrical work and don't want to be hosed by electricians who insist we need a complete rewiring job (unless it's true) when we start getting estimates.Can someone explain rewiring a house to me?

    Yes you can switch to a breaker system 200amp box or 100 amp if house is small. Is the wire aluminum or copper,if alum you will need to change to copper at some point.You can get by with alum for the time but change asap.Can someone explain rewiring a house to me?
    You really should have it inspected by a qualified electrician to tell you how much you need replaced...Good Luck..Can someone explain rewiring a house to me?
    It depends on what your life and the house are worth to you. If the home has not been upgraded since 1985, then I suggest you get 5 estimates to do a complete rewire of the home. You need a 200 amp breaker panel, meter and base, also new wire to every outlet and light. The wiring that was installed in 1940 has insulation that breaks down electrically with heat and time. It breaks off of the conductor and exposes it to rodents and moisture. This is a leading cause of fires in older homes. Inspect your outlets and switches, if the wire has a bare ground wire, then you may be OK at that point. This is a major upgrade that should be done ASAP it also will enable the installation of a smoke detector system. For a rough estimate, you will need to decide how much of the work you may do, like opening walls and removing old fixtures. Also who will repair the walls and paint.

    It is faster and easier to have a professional do the work. Can someone explain rewiring a house to me?
    It's kind of hard to give you a firm answer because I am not there.



    Most important thing you need is to have a local electrician replace the main service with a 200 amp panel and circuit breakers. Once that is done, and you want to DIY, there are plenty of sites on the net that can teach and show you what to do. Also, places like Home Depot and Lowe's are very helpful.



    If the house is wired with what is known as Knob and Tube, you will need a completely rewired house. When the electrician comes to do the new service, talk to him. That doesn't cost anything.

    Perfect Timing?

    A man walked out into the street and managed to get a

    taxi just going by. What luck, he thought, as he slid

    into the cab.



    %26quot;Perfect timing,%26quot; the cabby said. %26quot;You're just like Bill.%26quot;



    %26quot;Who?%26quot;



    %26quot;Bill Smith. There's a guy who did everything right,%26quot;

    the cabby said. %26quot;Like my coming along when you needed a

    cab. It would have happened like that to Bill every time.%26quot;



    %26quot;Nah,%26quot; the man said to the cabby. %26quot;There are always a

    few clouds over everybody.%26quot;



    %26quot;Not Bill,%26quot; said the cabby. %26quot;He was a terrific athlete.

    He could have gone on the pro tour in tennis. He could

    golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and

    danced like a Broadway star.%26quot;



    %26quot;Bill was really something, huh?%26quot;



    %26quot;Oh, yeah,%26quot; continued the cabby. %26quot;Bill had a memory like

    a trap. Could remember everybody's birthday. He knew all

    about wine, which fork to eat with. He could fix anything.

    Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole neighborhood

    blacks out.%26quot;



    %26quot;No wonder you remember him,%26quot; the man said.



    %26quot;Well, I never actually met Bill,%26quot; said the cabby.



    %26quot;Then how in the world do you know so much about him?%26quot;

    Here is the manual for it.. so you can locate itHi,does anyone knows how to repair a subwoofer?i am using Atlantic Technology PBM 222.?
    I would say it is a bigger problem concerning the boom and if it is the fuse it would probably be a buss fuse but before you get a fuse , find the label with all the electrical info.If you get the wrong fuse ,it might make the problem worse.Hi,does anyone knows how to repair a subwoofer?i am using Atlantic Technology PBM 222.?
    Make sure you unplug it from the wall before you do this......Hi,does anyone knows how to repair a subwoofer?i am using Atlantic Technology PBM 222.?
    Could be the fuse.... if it has one. Look for a screw cap or maybe a round port that you would unscrew with a coin somwhere on the back panel. The fuse could also be inside the cabinet... in which case you would have to open it up.. try the bottom. If you find it and the little filament wire inside the glass is broken, replace it with a similarly rated fuse. If that's not it, I'd take it in for a repair estimate.



    Be sure to unplug it first before doing anything.Hi,does anyone knows how to repair a subwoofer?i am using Atlantic Technology PBM 222.?
    Call Atlantic Tech and talk to them about it. They've probably seen or heard all the problems with the subs and can likely tell you what steps to take.

If it is the alternator i want to change it my self, i did my cars one are they like the same? Need help ThanksAlternator Problem?
    You can go to an auto parts store and get a Hayes manual or try getting a hold of a Ford dealership ask for the parts department, they should be able to answer your questions. My husband does it all the time if he has a problem that he can't solve. Good Luck

  • What could be wrong with these dang lights?

    Or, maybe, it's what could be wrong with my husband? He does not check strings of lights in the store before he buys them. He does not even check them before he gets them put up. He puts them where he wants them. Then plugs them in.



    This year, half the lights on the house work. Same for the garage, half work, half don't. And now, he put the brand new lights on the tree. Same thing, half worked, half didn't. AAAAAAAAUUUUGGGGHHHH!!!



    I suggested to him that perhaps the fuses needed to be changed. He tried. Took him an hour to take the fuse cap off the plug on the new string on the tree. Changed both of them. Still wouldn't work.



    And he suggested to me that I go to the little bitty hardware store here and buy another string.... I did. Only, they didn't have the multi colored lights that I love. No other store in our little town sells anything like this. I didn't want to drive into town. So, I bought 3 strings of 50 lights each. One red, one green and one blue. Had the clerk plug them in, they lit up.



    He wanted them to blink, couldn't find the directions on the box on how to use the blinkers. (Dang that dyslexia of his, anyway!) I found where it said to replace any bulb with the blinker.



    So. he fiddled with it. Had a hard time figuring out how to put the blinker in. Sort of did it. And then the whole dang string would not light. I am absolutely sure that if he gave the bulb a quarter turn, it would have slipped right into the string. But he insisted he was doing it right. He would not let me give it a try.



    One thing after another, I finally insisted that the lights needed to be steady burning. He put the regular bulb back in, all the lights lit up.



    So, my question. Is it worth it to have him drag out the ladder, change the fuses on the strings for the house and the strings for the garage? Worth the argument we are bound to have? Worth his frustration if he can't get new fuses to light the whole strings? Or, just put up with half the house and half the garage lit up? (I have a fear of heights and can't climb the ladder myself. I can climb, but need to hang on with both hands. That doesn't leave me much to work with.)



    Is there any other thing that could be wrong with the lights?



    Should we buy all new lights (checking them in the store) and start over?What could be wrong with these dang lights?
    Buy a light tester - solves a lot of problems and saves a lot of time.



    Some light sets don't work if only one bulb is burnt out.



    If you have the large outdoor lights, I know that if the inside of the socket gets wet, the whole set will go out.



    Good luck!What could be wrong with these dang lights?
    Did you check the actuall connection? If you're having this many problems, just go buy some more.

    ECHO1 AK-47 CPW Broke!! Please help!!?

    I got my ak-47 from echo1 about a 4 months ago and it has been perfect. but just today as me and my friends were playing the fuse blew. I had to use my pistol for the rest of the day and it was not fun. I brought it to the shop before for a clean up and oiling about a month ago and because were playing again tomorrow i have no time to get there again. Does anyone know how to change the fuse on this gun?ECHO1 AK-47 CPW Broke!! Please help!!?
    Here is a simple Fix that requires no parts:

    Take out the broken fuse

    take the metal clips (or wires: red and black) that where holding each end of the fuse

    tie them together and secure them with tape



    Most people are unaware that a fuse is not necessary to run an aeg, fuses are only there to protect against surges which are rare. Your gun should run fine without the fuse, although replacing it is recommended in the long runECHO1 AK-47 CPW Broke!! Please help!!?
    Dig out your manual, as horribly translated and shitty as they are, they will tell you what the fuse is and what you need to get. Then head to either Wal-Mart or an electrical supply store and pick up the fuse, then just pop it out and pop it in, paying attention to polarity. Very simple fix.

    96 Chevy blazer?

    the other day I went to take so boxes to ups . I opened my back hatch loaded the boxes closed the hatch did so other things went to open the hatch again and it would not open I already change the fuse but no luck . any Ideas on how to open the hatch without breaking it would be help full.96 Chevy blazer?
    well you should be able to open the back glass with the key in one direction, and then open the gate, are you saying that you where only able to pop the glass using the switch in the center console, Ive had to replace many rear tail gate locks for customers due to corrosion, and also there was also many that would not open the glass by the key also from the lock linkage getting corroded, and It would bend the little tab that popped the glass, from the inside of truck you can carefully remove the tailgate interior cover(not easy) and then open gate, to perform necessary repairs96 Chevy blazer?
    See Above answer, he's right

    Front power outlet in Honda Accord not working!?

    The front power outlet in my 2003 Honda Accord Coupe 4cyl is not working. Its the one just in front of the shift. I changed the fuse and it still doesn't work. The one in the center console is working but I want to get an FM tuner for my iPhone so i need the front outlet. About how much would it cost for the dealer to replace this power outlet? Can I get this done at autozone or pepboys or something like that?Front power outlet in Honda Accord not working!?
    if the one in the console works and the one in front of the shifter does not then the problem is definetly with the socket itself. Both of the accessory outlets are on the same circuit and share the same fuse and relay.



    the accessory outlet sockets are cheap. anyone can replace them. there is a nut on the back of the socket that holds it in the housing. that nut has to be removed from under the console pocket in order to remove the socket. I think the console pocket that includes the accessory socket will just pop out if you just insert a flat screwdriver blade into the gap around it and gently pry upward. Once it pops up you can disconnect the connector and remove the socket nut. I don't see why a PepBoys couldn't do this.

    The factory socket has two wires. I'd buy the replacement from honda as they are inexpensive. A universal fit socket usually only has one terminal and requires a separate ground which would mean they would have to splice a new wire into the wires from the old socket. Avoid the aggrevation and buy the honda socket.



    I can't imagine a dealer charging more than $30 to install the new socket if you don't want to try it yourself. the socket should be about $10 at the dealer.

    hope that helps.Front power outlet in Honda Accord not working!?
    you could by a one into two power outlet and plug that into your cig socket for quickness and forget about the other socket you can buy one of these from any auto zone shops or car spare outlets over here in england i would go halfords and get one of the shelf

  • Hello, I have a problem with a Bush IDLCD32 inch television.?

    I was using it earlier and it went completely dead. No power going to it at all. I've tried changing the fuse with no luck. Has any got any ideas i could try or does anyone know roughly how much it would cost to repair. Thanks. ChrisHello, I have a problem with a Bush IDLCD32 inch television.?
    Your tv power supply pcb is faulty.if it%26quot; few yrs old --best to but new one.Hello, I have a problem with a Bush IDLCD32 inch television.?
    If its a Bush then don't bother trying to repair it, it will just cost more than the TV is worth. Bush are not noted for being high class or quality.



    Sometimes they have internal fuses but if you have to split the case and lift the screen you'll probably brick it.Hello, I have a problem with a Bush IDLCD32 inch television.?

    Looks like you need to contact a GM dealer. Here's you answer straight from the owners manual:



    %26quot;Theft-Deterrent Feature (If Equipped)

    THEFTLOCK is designed to discourage theft of your

    radio. It works by using a secret code to disable all radio

    functions whenever battery power is removed.

    The THEFTLOCK feature for the radio may be used or

    ignored. If ignored, the system plays normally and the

    radio is not protected by the feature. If THEFTLOCK is

    activated, your radio will not operate if stolen.

    When THEFTLOCK is activated, the radio will display

    LOC to indicate a locked condition anytime battery

    power is removed. If your battery loses power for any

    reason, you must unlock the radio with the secret code

    before it will operate.

    Activating the Theft-Deterrent Feature

    The instructions which follow explain how to enter your

    secret code to activate the THEFTLOCK system. It is

    recommended that you read through all nine steps

    before starting the procedure.



    NOTE: If you allow more than 15 seconds to elapse

    between any steps, the radio automatically reverts to

    time and you must start the procedure over at Step 4.



    1. Write down any three or four-digit number from

    000 to 1999 and keep it in a safe place separate from

    the vehicle.

    2. Turn the ignition to ACC or ON.

    3. Turn the radio off.

    4. Press the 1 and 4 buttons together. Hold them down

    until --- shows on the display. Next you will use the

    secret code number which you have written down.

    5. Press MIN and 000 will appear on the display.

    6. Press MIN again to make the last two digits agree

    with your code.

    7. Press HR to make the first one or two digits agree

    with your code.

    8. Press AM-FM after you have confirmed that the

    code matches the secret code you have written down.

    The display will show REP to let you know that you

    need to repeat Steps 5 through 7 to confirm your

    secret code.

    9. Press AM-FM and this time the display will show

    SEC to let you know that your radio is secure.

    Note that with the ignition off, the THEFTLOCK LED

    indicator will flash, indicating a secured radio.





    Unlocking the Theft-Deterrent Feature After a

    Power Loss

    Enter your secret code as follows; pause no more than

    15 seconds between steps:

    1. LOC appears when the ignition is on.

    2. Press MIN and 000 will appear on the display.

    3. Press MIN again to make the last two digits agree

    with your code.

    4. Press HR to make the first one or two digits agree

    with your code.

    5. Press AM-FM after you have confirmed that the

    code matches the secret code you have written down.

    The display will show SEC, indicating the radio is

    now operable and secure.



    If you enter the wrong code eight times, INOP will

    appear on the display. You will have to wait an hour

    with the ignition on before you can try again. When you

    try again, you will only have three more chances (eight

    tries per chance) to enter the correct code before

    INOP appears.

    If you lose or forget your code, contact your dealer.



    Disabling the Theft-Deterrent Feature

    Enter your secret code as follows; pause no more than

    15 seconds between steps:

    1. Turn the ignition to ACC or ON.

    2. Turn the radio off.

    3. Press the 1 and 4 buttons together. Hold them down

    until SEC shows on the display.

    4. Press MIN and 000 will appear on the display.

    5. Press MIN again to make the last two digits agree

    with your code.

    6. Press HR to make the first one or two digits agree

    with your code.

    7. Press AM-FM after you have confirmed that the

    code matches the secret code you have written down.

    The display will show ---, indicating that the radio is

    no longer secured.



    If the code entered is incorrect, SEC will appear on the

    display. The radio will remain secured until the correct

    code is entered.

    When battery power is removed and later applied to a

    secured radio, the radio won’t turn on and LOC will

    appear on the display.

    To unlock a secured radio, see “Unlocking the

    Theft-Deterrent Feature After a Power Loss” earlier in
