Q:I'm trying to tighten the electrical wires on my car.Do I just use pliers and twist them tighter?Can I use my hands?-tightening the wires on my ignition switch and starterNeed to know asapNo B.S. just need to know how

Nuts hold wire eyelets on threaded stud shafts and you tighten the nut (not too tight). Plastic connectors with metal contact pins just need to be removed and reconnected to make a better connection. House wiring uses wire nuts that screw on to the twisted ends of the wires to be joined. Some eyelet terminals are held by a screw you tighten. Sometimes you can permanently connect a twisted and soldered wire jumper to make sure two wires are connected together.

Q:What method can be used to detect residual impurities and metal particles on the wire surface?

Therefore, the removal of metal surface impurities and removal of metal surface oxides, the two are different.

Q:Phone wire outside was old is anybody done that, do it your self put a new wire on?, Just curious to know..

Outside wire would feed back to the telephone central office and will either be aerial wire, connected to poles, or buried. Either way it is not feasible for someone other than the telephone company to replace.

Q:I moved into a home with pre-wired speakers. There is a bundle of speaker wire coming out of the wall. Each wire has 4 colors of other wire coming out of it. There are a total of 7 main wires (with four wires each) and a total of 9 speakers.

i had a cable like that, 4 wire but two clamps on speaker. what i did was have the red and black wire.. and then just connect another wire to that, making sure you connect the same wire on both ends.. eg: red with green and black with blue... color varies.. but you get the point..

Q:I have a very old house. I was unhooking the fluorescent light in our kitchen to put a round ceiling light in and the old fluorescent light was plugged into the ceiling (like any regular two pronged electrical plug). How do I wire the ground wire, the line voltage wire, and the neutral wire from the new light so I can plug it into the plug in my ceiling?

disconnect the outlet in your ceiling and expose the wiring and hardwire the new light this way, using the supplied wire nuts etc... if its an older home you may have trouble matching the new wiring scheme (black wire, white wire, copper wire) to what is existing in your ceiling... turn the juice off before you try (at the switch that controls the light and throw the breaker or pull the fuse just to be safe) thats always the way it works... attach the ground wire to a screw that holds up the new light (if its not grounded all the way through the circuit it wont matter anyway) if you have an electricity tester try and determine which wire is hot and connect the black wire to that one, white wire to the other one.. maybe you can tell by the way the outlet was wired which one was carrying the load if you look closely at where the connections were made, often times those hot screw terminals will be differnt color than the neutral (gold vs silver?).. if all else fails i would say the blue marked one was marked for a reason, probably to show that it is hot.

Q:is this a wire that like is the same as buying any other one?

Wire is wire pretty much. Some manufactures will market thier wire as high strand or 99 percent oxygen free but you won't notice a difference. Its more for bragging rights.

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.

Q:How do I find the remote wire on the back of my stock Ford Focus strereo? I have a line output converter to connect the rca cables to the deck, but I cannot tell wich wire is the remote wire. How can I track this wire down to connect it to the amp?

it should be a blue skinny wire striped with white

Q:ok so the passenger side back floorboard was getting wet and i believe the water to have corroded the wiring to my radio i've taken care of the water problem and know how to reconfigure the wiring but do i need to be worried about the security system while tinkering with the wiring see as how sensitive the security in these cars are i figured id check and see what you guys have to say about this pls also give resources as to how you know

If you are going to replace wire by wire , you can do that first unplug the battery and be very care full with orange and pink wires, try to solder the new wires the factory amplifier is in the trunk left side good luck new wiring is $700 from the dealer and the only place to buy it new good luck
