Q:i got this switch with numbers 1 , 2, 3, and 4 on it and 4 wires red, green, and two black. Which wires go to which number?

Well it is defintely a 3 way switch. The fourth (green) wire being the ground. I can't tell you by the numbers, but I can tell you by the screws which wire goes where. If it does not apply to your switch you may need to go get a new one. They are inexpensive. The green, ground wire goes to the screw that is usually attached to the arms ( metal extentions that hold against the sheet rock. Now you need to find the red and black wire that are together. Look inside the box where the wires come in and you should be able to tell if the red and black are in the same sheathing. These are your travelers. The travelers need to go on the two screws that are across from eachother. One goes on the right side and one goes on the left. Does not matter which side. The last black wire, depending on which of the two 3 ways you are at is either your power or your light leg (wire going to your light). This wire goes on the last screw. Hope this was helpful.

Q:We bought a used 2004 Chevy Venture that is a cargo style van... it only had a radio in it. So we just bought a Sony car stereo with a cd player to install in it. However, we are having trouble locating the correct wiring harness for the 2004 Venture. We've bought two already for GM vehicles that should technically work for the year of our van, but they do not work. One salesman told us we needed a very expensive wiring harness because it controls the airbags and other electrical gadgets (but they didn't sell it at his store... he said to look online). I've looked online and can't find anything. Would we be better hardwiring it OR does anyone have any experience with a situation like this? Thanks!

You have to remove the trim plate on the front which involves a few other trim panels like the center trim piece to be removed. Then you can access the IPC screws

Q:Im installing a motion sensor which comes with 3 wires,red black and white and want to connect it to a indoor light that only comes with 2 wires white and black.How do I go about installing them and powering them?

To be honest, it seems you might be better served getting an electrician. If not... 1st, make sure to turn off the power. I'd imagine the red and black wires are for the incoming power (to the motion switch) and the outgoing power (from the motion sensor to the light). Look for markings on the wires or near where they go into the sensor (didn't this sensor come with instructions?), LINE designates incoming power, LOAD is for the load being served (the light). White is the common wire and will connect to the other white wire. If I had to guess, I'd say the red is incoming power, black is outgoing to the light. Whatever you do, BE CAREFUL, electricity is no joke.

Q:Ok I've been changing the old outlets in the house and all of them were fine until I got to this 1 outlet. The outlet had 1 ground wire, 2 white and 2 black (if that helps). The wires were a little chewed up looking so when I went to wrap the upper white wire to its screw it broke and now the wire won't reach the screw and certain lights in the house won't turn on because of it. I probably should have left it alone because of the condition of the wires but its too late now so how do I go about getting the wire to reach its screw ? Thanks

using a wire nut or crimp on splicer you can splice another piece of wire to it, tape the wires if they are damaged

Q:Can you swap out a 1984 Porsche 944 wiring harness with a different car's wiring harness? If which car. Thank you.

Sure. You are going to have to make a lot of patches to the other wiring harness to make it work.

Q:I'm replacing the door speakers in a 2001 Coupe Camaro with the factory sound system. I needed to know which wire was positive and which was negative so I bought a circuit tester. However, I keep getting the reading that both wires are positive. What could be causing this? I know the circuit tester works because I tested it on the battery terminals and it worked fine.

1 end goes on the negative post of the battery and the other end goes on any ground. some are grounded on the alternator bracket.
