My boat came with a rule 500 2-wire auto pump. I have an on/off switch at the console. My replacement has 3 wires. How do I connect the 3 wires and still use my on/off switch?
It all depends on the function of the third wire. The instructions that came with the pump should tell you what it's for. If you're only using the pump with the switch you only need to apply 12V and a return to the pump. The switch could be in either leg, but will normally be in the +12V leg. The third wire could be an earth ground for safety or you might have a built in float switch so that you can apply 12V directly to that 3rd wire. When the internal float switch goes high enough it will turn on the bilge pump for you. Your best bet is still to read the instructions before you install it though...
I am wiring a cd player in my truck is it necessary to get a wire harness that is made for the year make and model of my truck or can I just cut the factory terminals off and just connect the like colors?
While a wiring harness isn't strictly necessary, It's highly recommended. The wiring color code on an aftermarket head unit will match up properly with a vehicle-specific wiring harness. The wire colors of your vehicle wiring will NOT be the same as the wire colors on your aftermarket unit. You have to match the wires up according to function, not according to color.
anybody got a diagram or instructions on how to wire an amp wiring kit in a 1999 audi a4
yeah just the way my buddy there say it but the small wire goes with remote control wire of the radio when tunr on the radio the amp comes on too!
Im currently running 8 gauge power wire from my battery to my amp which is a hifonics zxi8408 i have it bridged to 2 channels so its pushing 440 watts x2 to 2 alpine type Rs. The current speaker wire im running is 16 gauge.My question is...since im going to go down to 4 gauge power wire, should I lower the speaker wire and get 12 gauge speaker wire also? What will sound the best?
Actually YES, the speaker wire should always be twelve gauge especially if you want crystal-clear sound. And you SHOULD get 4 gauge power and ground wires as well. They sell great quality audio cables at Walmart.
I had recently closed up an outlet by taking the four wires and capping them off. Only to find out the two of the wires were for the ceiling fan power. I have a black and a white wire newer travelers to the ceiling fan, and two old cloth wires which look black. I do have an electrical tester and just want power for the fan, I will cover up the outlet. What wires go where ?
Tie the two (hot) blacks together, the two neutral together, wire nut and overwrap with electrical tape. If you have neutrals(bare or green) tie these together as well. Then out your blank cover on the outlet. Make sure you don't have the power on when you do this! Also, remember that you should not permanently cover the outlet - don't drywall or plaster over it. It becomes a junction box, and must be accessible. To tell which is hot use your meter from wire to ground, if you get voltage (if the power is on) that is hot. To check while power is off, neutral to ground will have 0 or 1 ohm (Ohm setting) while hot to ground has overload (OL) on the readout. The wires to the fan will BOTH be dead, and will both be overload when tested in the OHM setting. To check that the two that go to the fan really do, turn the fan on and check ohms between both wires. It should read low ohms. Turn the fan off, and it will go to overload' Hope I haven't made it too confusing, it is much easier to show than tell!
im throwing in a radio in my 2002 f-150 and i need the color codes for the truck radio wires
radio wires 2002 150
home, thermostat, wiring
green wire is 24 volts from the t-stat to the indoor fan relay, i promise! unless it's a trane. trane has their own wiring codes and i don't remember trane wiring at this time. i can look it up but don't want to. green goes to the indoor fan relay, for real. the fan relay energizes 110 volts and turns the indoor fan on. be careful jacking around with that stuff. remember, you have low voltage from the transformer and t-stat and high voltage everywhere else. the outside stuff is 220 volts. ZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
I have some salvaged wire from a computer power supply and would like to know it's break-down voltage rating. Most hookup wire is rated at 600 volts but unfortunately, all computer stuff is now made in China. The repair job of a vintage piece of equipment requires wire that can withstand 300 VAC.
i couldn't tell you without knowing the amperage in those 300vac because amps are what generate the heat but if you wanna know if its high quality or not strip the psu wire and if its silver its good wire if its copper..... use at your own risk
