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:i am putting in a ceiling fan. there is a black wire and a white wire along with a copper looking wire in the wall. on the fan there is a blue,white,and green. where do i connect this to the wires in the wall? running from a wall switch btw

connect the fan black wire and the fan blue wire to the house black wire. then connect the white fan wire to the white house wire. connect the short green wire from the fan and fan bracket to the copper wire. the blue is the power wire to the light on the fan. Good luck...

Q:What are the advantages and disadvantages of a bank wire transfer ?

Wire transfers on average will run you $15 for domestic and $30 for international. Both representatives from two different banks will process the electronic transfer. Advantage - No physical cash is exchanged. The money will be at another institution the same day. Disadvantage - Fee

Q:Has anyone ever used welding wire in their car audio setup?Is it more flexible or less than other car power wire? Is this a big problem?Is it a good or bad jacket?Would you use it again?I am looking at buying some welding wire from weldingsupply because it is .81 per foot. I would love to know if anyone has done this before and what they thought. The wire i am looking at is 4 gague.

It is actaully the exact same wire as the auto manufacturs use.... just bigger gauge is all. Edit... I see most people don't see it as possible.... well let me ask you this, How different do you think copper wire can be from another copper wire? If you really wanted too you can use speaker wire for power wire.... because at the end of the day wire is wire!

Q:My home is wired for the thermostats with two wires (red and white). I have acquired a new thermostat that requires a Red, White, and Common wire. Using the white wire in that position will power the unit up but it won't trigger the heat. Is there something that can be put in line that will allow this thermostat to work without rewiring the house?

2 wire is milivoltjust scrap off varnish off wires and try again dc voltage produces varnish on wires prevents heater from firing

Q:I need a wiring guide or diagram for the stereo of a 2005 ford taurus. somethig that will show which wires are for front and rear speakers, and the remote start wire

Q:I have a ceiling fixture outlet which has 4 wires coming out (red, black, white and uninsulated ground). There is only one light switch that controls it. I wanted to attach a light fixture to connect to that, but the light fixture only has 3 wires (red, white and green - ground). How do I connect this light fixture to the 4 wires?

Canada and the USA Usually the Red wire in the cieling outlet is controlled by the switch. The Black wire in the cieling outlet should be live all the time. Cap the black wire off with the proper size wire nut. The white wire in the cieling outlet is the common wire. The bare wire in the cieling outlet is the ground wire. it should be attached directly to the metal ground screw in the outlet. The green wire on the light fixture must be connected to the ground screw in the cieling outlet. Connect the white wire on the light fixture to the white wire in the cieling outlet Connect the red wire on the light fixture to the red wire in the cieling outlet. If this does not work, whoever did the wiring did not follow convention. Interchange the red and black cieling outlet wires: Connect the red wire on the light fixture to the black wire in the cieling outlet. Cap off the red wire in the cieling outlet with the proper sized wire nut.

Q:I bought this ceiling lamp, and there are 4 wires coming out of it. One white and one black (positive and negative), a bare copper wire for grounding, but there's also a yellow striped green wire. I was wondering what's the latter one for ?In my ceiling I have the black, white and bare copper wires.I'm Canadian by the way

Bare and Grn Yel. are both grounds . Just connect one or the other to the 'bare' in the box.

Q:I heard that Japanese could load a low voltage without any wires in one direction for 1 meter! Of course 1 meter is nothing. But can we get rid of wires in next 50 or 100 years?

Yes maybe, And maybe more than maybe. because I heard about it too. I heard that they could extend it to 100 meters. So I hope it would happen(That I'm sure)!
