Q:I have a bathroom exhaust fan with a light and heater function. The Heater has a red and white wire and the fan and lights have a black, a blue and two whites. There is a three switch outlet on the wall in the bathroom controlling these functions. In the attic there are 3 different wires going to the exhaust fan that I can't find out how to connect. There are 3 blacks, 3 whites and 3 grounds. How should I hook the switch to the exhaust fan wires? Please help

Blue, black, and red are all hot wires. Just attach each hot wire and its corresponding white wire to each switches black hot wire and white wire. When finished each switch will turn on the heater, light, or fan.

Q:On a seat switch on a poulan mower it has three wires are two of them grounds or one.

One wire comes in hot and goes out hot to the next switch in the series of safety switches this is known as the switched pair, and the other wire is the ground, get a ohm meter and see which wires are paired by pushing the switch while in ohm mode when the meter reads 0 ohms when the switch is pushed those are the switched wires.

Q:i have some ikea wall lights that are wired to plug but i would like to wire them into exsiting wall points. Is this possibleSandra

Check with your local building code department. The 16 gauge wire used for those lights is not meant to be run through walls. Other than that, they should work fine. Be sure they're on a suitable breaker and are grounded.

Q:I'm trying to hook up my second phone line. I have a red, green and yellow wire in the cable, but no black wire. Is there a reason for this? And what can I do to get the second line up and running? thx

the wire you have is designed for 1 line only. Back in the day the yellow wire was used to carry ground because ground was necessary for old circuits. Ground is no longer needed so in order to get two lines you need at least a two pair wire (meaning four wires) you might have to run a new wire unfortunately or just keep that one and run another to separate jack.

Q:alright, 5 speakers with 4ohm svc, what would my wiring options be?

With 5 speakers there won't be a symmetral wiring pattern for even power distribution. With 4 it would be 2 pair in parallel with both sets in series for a 4 ohm final load or all 4 in parallel for a 1 ohm final load.

Q:What type of wire do i need to install a normal inside wall outlet? Do i have to use solid copper wire?

If the circuit breaker feeding the receptacle is 15 amps, you must use a #14 minimum size. if it is a 20 amp breaker, you must use a #12 minimum. You can use either solid or twisted. TexMav
