Q:I was re-wiring a light switch and a fan control knob and I accidentally cut a wire too short. This wire comes out the front of the fan dial and goes around to the back, connecting to another wire, thus placing a wire nut impossible. Can I just link the two ends together, then seal it with electrical tape? Or do I have to buy a new fan dial (which will cost $25, a cost I'm trying to avoid)? Will just the tape be safe enough?

You should definitely use wire nuts but your fan dial is totally savable. Just use two wire nuts with a short piece of wire in between the short ends you have. Wire nuts are important because you need to clamp the wires together to get a good amount of conductivity. If you just taped the wires together they would touch but not well enough to make a good low resistance union. Bad connections are high resistance and cause heat and then fires.

Q:at least 3 examples for wire and wireless......

Wire simplex: Serial data from GPS to PC or autopilot using 2 wires. Wire, half duplex: Theatrical intercom, with push to talk buttons for each spotlight operator. Wire, full duplex: telephone. Wireless, simplex: infrared remote control for TV. Wireless, half duplex: walkie-talkie, family radio service, cb radio. Wireless, full duplex cellphone, cordless phone.

Q:Ok You know the speaker wires that go to the back of the subwoofer? The metal part that comes out of the wire came out of the wire, and it makes a funny sound or no sound at all. How can I fix this? Also, I cut the wire and put the copper wires into the subwoofer, it works so so, any sugestions? lew

If it's a RCA type jack, just buy a new cable. Your method would normally work, but you really need a good solid connection. You can get a RCA cable crimper, which would allow you to attach a new RCA jack to the cable...but the kit will cost you as much as a new cable. Personally, I'd just buy a new cable.

Q:Wire runs from breakers to a wall outlet along the garage wall

If you drill through the studs so that the cable does not lay on the face of the structure, studs, you can use NM (non-metallic) sometimes call romex. You should use 12 gage so use 12-2 cable which will have three wires including the ground. Connect to a new or otherwise unused 20 amp breaker and install as many outlets you want to this circuit.

Q:i have just got a radio from a 2004dodge durango my buddy bought a new radio and i tok his old one, so now i need the wiring diagram to find out what all the wires goo too their are way more wires on thios thing that im use to on stock radios. ive looked it up online and its not the right diagrams the colors dont match up on the wires. ny help pleaseeee

If you havent already cut the wires then go to an audio store (best buy, local shop ect...) and buy a wiring harness. If you already cut the wires you NEED to test the wires with a test light and 9v battery and not rely on online diagrams because 90% of the time they are wrong. way to do it is find your positive, negative, and turn on wire with a test light. test every single wire with the test light to make sure there arent any live wires still left after you found your power wires. after you have done that to find the speakers take a 9 volt and hold one wire to the positive and touch every wire and listen for a speaker to make a scratching noise. when you hear the scratching noise then that means those two wires go to that speaker. if your totally lost then rewire the factory plug back on and then go get a wiring harness. theyre like 15-20 bucks and save you a whole lot of time and its a lot less mess to deal with.

Q:The coiled wire is for making bucktails and i would like to buy it in bulk.

lowes maybe or home depot.

Q:So I know that the neutral wire is the 'return wire'. But why does my textbook say that it has the potential to have the same amount of electricity as the live wire (if the wiring is faulty)? But essentially, if the wiring is not faulty it is technically safe to touch it, it has 0 volts.Could someone explain this to me?

a million. whilst that is working regularly, Voltage could be present for the time of stay and independent twine. cutting-edge could flow from stay to independent twine. 2. whilst there's a fault, The voltage would be present interior the stay twine and since the circuit isn't closed, No cutting-edge could be flowing. 3. No that is no longer ultimate. yet at times, the earth twine could be transmitted to the sub station the place in its joined with the independent. 4. green 5. The Casing could be linked to earth. for this reason the independent is shorted with earth.

Q:What is the use of Fence baebed wire?

Cattle.etc...would push on the fence to eat the taller grass on the other side, The barbs change their mind...Also hog wire gives and stretches, barb wire doesn't. A cow would eventually ruin, and walk through, a hog wire fence that didn't have barb wire at the top and bottom edges.

Q:I have a set of two rotating beacon lights on my truck. I would like to wire these directly to the vehicle with an on/off switch. I picked up a two prong toggle switch from autozone, as well as some wire. I'm not sure how I need to do the wiring. I read somewhere about running wire from the fuse box? And how about grounding?
