Q:I bought a bathroom fan timer and tried to install it. It has four wires and the wall switch circuit has only 3 wires. What do I do?

3 Wire Switch

Q:one single coil pickup (white wire and bare wire)and one volume pickupidk how to do it thought it would be simple but obviously notdiagrams would be awesome

Here's okorder /... The single coil will be very similar. You'll note that the humbucker has 4 wires, but two of them are soldered together. You can ignore them and wire your single coil like the other 2 wires. Bare wire goes to ground. White wire goes to the outside lug of the volume pot. Center lug of volume pot goes to output jack.....the part that connects to the tip of the plug. Opposite lug of volume pot goes to ground Outside ring of input jack goes to ground.

Q:I have a '78 jeep cj7 with points type ignition, I was wanting someone to explain exactly how to wire up the coil, starting with the 3 wires from the ignition switch.

HI use a test light.. hook it up to ground and turn the ignition on. one wire should be hot that goes to the + of the coil. then have someone turn the switch to start (I'd disconnect the wire from the solenoid to the starter so it don't turn ) the test the other two wires one of them should be hot now. that also go the the + of the coil. The last wire well go to the - side of the coil.. You may ask why to hot wires to the coil... one only supplies like 5 to 9 volts to the coil which is all that is needed to run the motor. The other supplies a full 12 volts which is needed for start up only. good luck Tim

Q:I have a 2000 Mazda 626, and I am replacing the factory stereo with a Sony CDX-GT66UPW, I tried replacing it earlier and had to cut off the end plastic pieces for the original stereo wires and stripped the wires, So now I am trying to match up the wires from the new stereo with the old colors, But I don't know what color goes to what on the mazda? Can anyone give me a color coded diagram for the wiring?

Q:I have an old house with old wiring. I have no colors to go by.

How To Identify Neutral Wire

Q:I recently bought a stereo for my truck. What is a good average gage for a ground wire? Speaker wire? Power wire? Last but not least a speaker control (remote) wire? If it helps, I am running a 760 watt pioneer amp on two 12 inch subs. Thanks

Q:i need a definition for wire bending for my art project.

Ok, you need two things: 1. Wire cutters 2. Metal file First, cut the wire out of your mouth with the wire cutters. Then file down the sharp metal edges that are left on the braces with the metal file. Make sure you file with a lot of pressure and speed, so that the edges are nice and smooth. I can't stress how important that is! Oh, and don't bother calling a dentist. Remember, they're the ones that put you in this pain to begin with! Done? Good, now go and eat some taffy, gum, and jawbreakers. :D

Q:which guage power wire will handle 100 amps

Run the 1 guage from the battery to the dist block then 4 gauge to the cap and 8 guage to the amp(s)

Q:does it matter what gauge speaker wire to use when hooking up a powered subwoofer?

A Powered subwoofer does not use speaker wire - it usually uses a RCA cable. EDIT: Ok - some older subwoofers only have speaker inputs and speaker outputs. You run speaker wire from the Left/Right speaker outputs to the sub, it strips off the sounds it wants to produce, and it passes the other sounds onto the other speakers. I suggest some good oxygen free 12 ga wire. There is a roll off effect with higher frequency sounds and long runs of speaker wire. It usually does not matter for a Home Theater system, but you can hear it with a high-end music system. Thicker wire reduces the effect. Since with a sub you would be running wires to the sub, then back to the L/R speakers, you could be using 15-30 ft of wire. Get a spool of good 12 ga from a speaker building site or get some of the Carol 12 speaker wire from Home Depot.

Q:I NEED TO CHECK IF A WIRE IS GOOD ON A FITNESS MACHINE. HOW DO I KNOW IF ITS GOOD? WHAT SHOULD THE OHMS BE?

This is true for most wires of practical sizes in devices like fitness bikes or treadmills. If you have a multimeter, you will find there is a setting for reading resistance, which is marked in Ohms. If you set the meter for that setting, you will notice that when you touch the red and black probes together, the meter will read ZERO ohms or close to it. There is a little knob somewhere to set it to zero. Then you can read a wire by touching the probes to the opposite ends of the wire. If the wire is sound, the reading will again be zero (equivalent to touching the probes together). If you don't get zero, the wire may be damaged or corroded. Watch for corrosion, which will give you a high-resistance reading. If the wire is one conductor in a cable with numerous wires in it, you will have to look for the opposite ends of the same conductor. They will probably be color coded, which makes it easier. Good luck.
