Q:My telephone doesn't work. No Dial tone. When I plug the phone into the box outside the phone works so that tells me it is the wiring going into or in the house. The phone repairman put in a new phone box outside because the old one wasn't accessible anymore (we accidentally built a porch over it) when he did that he spliced the wire going from the old box to the new box. The wires that he spliced hang down under the porch. There are 4 wires coming out of each wire, but only two are spliced together. Should the other two be spliced also? I'm thinking maybe they were but my dog has messed with them. The phone service went down all of the sudden and I don't really know anything else to check. Any ideas?

each phone line uses a pair of wires (2 wires) these wires would normally be green/red or blue/white and solid blue for line 1 and if needed yellow/black or orange/white and solid orange for line 2... you did the first step in troubleshooting to know that the trouble resides inside your home... so when you call into your line does the phone ring busy (or go straight to voice mail) or does it just keep ringing.... if it rings busy (or straight to VM) then there is a short on the line... this is possibly a defective phone, a phone that is off the hook, or a bad jack or wire... if the phone just keeps ringing, then there is a broken wire somewhere...... since the old NID is no longer accessible, you may need to run a section of wire from the new NID to one of the existing jacks in your home to back feed the jacks... if you do this i recommend disconnecting the wire that is going from the new NID to the old NID, as if you reverse the polarity you may end up shorting out your line with the new wire...

Q:Looking for legit (good) speaker wire?or does it depend? are all speaker wire good?the speaker wires are for car audio

16 gauge wire to 8 gauge wire. Some people like to pay a lot for the wire by getting name brand, they claim it sounds better. but any wire advertised as speaker wire will do. If you do spend a lot of money for high quality shielded speaker wire, chances are you've already spent more money on your equipment, so It will sound better anyway.

Q:Consider a copper wire 1 mm in diameter providing the power needed to run an appliance drawing a 4.8 kW at 12 V. Assuming that no heat is radiated away from the wire while the current flows:A. What will the temperature of the wire be after the current has run for 1 second through the wire?B. What will the physical condition of the wire be at that time?(The wire was initially at 20 degrees C)

Battery's have their very own resistance (noted as their 'inner resistance'). the cost of the indoors resistance relies upon on the form of battery and its age. the full resistance of your circuit hence would be plenty greater effective than 0.064 ohm, so the present would be decrease than ninety 3.75A.. you will no longer get a electric marvel from 6V (although your tongue can detect it - no longer recommneded!). approximately 30mA around the guts can quit it. yet you may choose a plenty bigger voltage than 6V by way of resistance of the physique. in spite of the shown fact that there is achieveable of overheating the battery and/or the twine, which includes achieveable of hearth in some circumstances. Please do no longer attempt this with AC mains. There are severe detrimental aspects of deadly electric marvel and beginning a hearth. The kin risk-free practices equipment (fuse/circuit breaker/RCD) are meant to shrink the skill if the present is basically too severe or if there is an earth-leak - yet you are able to no longer possibility the risk-free practices of your self and others in this kind.

Q:Hello,I got a ventilation fan for the bathroom. The fan has 2 wires and there are 2 wires sticking out of the wall.How do I know which wire connects to which wire?What would happen if I connect the wrong wires?

first find out if there is any power on the wires sticking out of the wall they are probly controled by a switch somewhere in the room . there sould be a white and black wire on the fan and sticking out of wall connect color to color . if yoiy connect it wrong it will eather blow a fuse or not run at all

Q:Ceiling fan has a black wire, white wire, green wire and also a black and white wire.

The black and white wire provides power to the lights; the black wire is to power the fan motor. If you have separate wall switches for lights and fan, you can control them separately. If there's a red wire in the box, connect it to the black and white fixture wire. The black goes to the black fan wire. The green is connected to the green screw on the fixture. All of the whites should be joined together. If you do not have separate wall switches for fan and lights, just join the black, black+white and black house wire together. You will then have to control the light with a pull cord.

Q:Okay, i put a cd player in my Integra wrong in the first place an i blew my headlights, dash lights, and taillights. Are there separate wiring harness/ for the motor and interior? I have a B-series, I'm looking at a B-series Wiring Harness online an is that what i need? Or is there a separate interior wiring harness i need to make my lights work again? Help would be appreciated.

Q:I've seen people use it as ...umm..energy generating...majiggy.. (but not alot of energy) including a magnet/something about a magnetic field or some sort?and instead of MAGNET WIRES can i use SPEAKER WIRES?(RADIO SHACK)

Magnet wire is just solid copper with a layer of varnish for insulation. Speaker wire would work, but you could not wind the wire as tightly due to the thicker insulation. also the wire is very flexible and will not stay in place very well. Also, if the coil gets hot, the insulation on the Speaker wire will start to burn or melt. .

Q:other than soldering and using a T-tap (wire tap), what are other common ways of connecting two wires together? Also, what does the following video say at the 1 minute 10 second mark? It's a something-set that helps to attach wires.

wires can be welded or brazed (which is a little different than soldering) and mechanically attached (wire nut or screw terminal). THere are some electrically conductive pastes and adhesives. The ends of the wires can be immersed in a container of Hg (but this is getting farther away from common ways).

Q:the sensor part has 4 wires,(2 white,1 black and 1 red)each light has 1bl.and 1white

If all else fails read the directions! Please read the directions that came with the motion sensor/outdoor light. They should have a color code in them somewhere that tells you what each color is and what it should be wired too. If you have any doubts hire a licensed qualified electrician to do it for you. You would be much better off if you don't think you are capable of doing it. If you do think you are capable make sure you turn off the breaker in the breaker box. (Not the light switch on the wall)

Q:i have some blue speaker wire in my wiring kit for my subs but where do i start it out from my head deck when i start to wire it all together.

you connect the blue wire to either your power antenna turnon wire or a separate amp turnon lead. Newer decks might have a separate lead for the amp turnon. Your main power wires goes directly to your battery the blue turnon wire actually turns the amp on when you turn on the radio.
