Q:I'm trying to tighten the electrical wires on my car.Do I just use pliers and twist them tighter?Can I use my hands?-tightening the wires on my ignition switch and starterNeed to know asapNo B.S. just need to know how

Soldering them is the only real way to make sure the connection is good. If you twist them too much, they will break inside the coating and give you a bad connection. Why are you needing to tighten them?

Q:awg is an american stander to manufacturing electrical wires

To repair it your self, which is what your question seems to be asking....Leave the breaker off.. Unscrew the burnt wire from the fixture. Pull the black wire out a bit for some slack to work with,. Cut the scorched wires end off to fresh wire, and strip the plastic coating off of the wire up to about an inch. If it isn't a solid piece of wire twist the ends so they form a smooth wire. Use some pliers, (needle nosed, work best ) to create a u in the stripped wire, and then hook it around the screw you removed the wire from, Making sure no exposed wire touches the other wire that is screwed on the plug too, tighten it down then push the wires back into the wall and remount the plug and cover. Then I would check the other outlet that is on that same breaker just for safety's sake.

Q:i had a wired linksys router. can a linksys wireless network usb receive signal from the wired router.

there's a small RESET button on the the decrease back of the router. it quite is probable the process the subject you would be wanting some thing alongside the strains of a paper clip to push the little button in (its fairly small and recessed). interior the set up mode circulate into stepped forward settings and there could be a scroll down cursor to get the right placing.

Q:alright i have a 1994 ford ranger XLT, it has a 4cyl and is a stick shift. i need to know which wire goes where from my O2 sensor. i know there is a positive, negative, heater wire, and the wire that goes to the computer. if anyone could tell me what each wire is and what the color of each is?

I know you're looking for very specific information, but I think you might be better off getting a service manual or at least a wiring diagram of the car. Some info is very VIN specific. This may not be, but it could be. Any answer you get could be unintentionally wrong, an cause you no end of headaches as you get mystery problems after you apply the wrong info. It happens.

Q:I'm trying to install a ceiling fan but I'm having trouble with the wiring. Coming out of the fan I've got a black, white, black and white striped, and a green wire. coming out of the cieling i've got a black, a white and a red wire.The fan's green wire is connected to the bracket as a ground, so that's out of the way. It's the other wires that confuse me. I've tried, white to white, black to black, and BW striped to red, but that didn't do anything.Any ideas? Thanks.

The black and white striped is so you can turn the light and fan on separately. So at the fan hook white to white/black to black and striped to red. Then at switch box hook all white wires together with a wire nut,then a black power wire to both switches ,1 for fan 1 for light. Then the red wire coming from fan goes to a switch and the black wire coming from fan goes to a switch. If you want to run fan and light at the same time and just use pull string on fan then just hook black wire and striped wire together at the fan.

Q:wiring for generator

You okorder /... made for your panel, it requires a little more electrical experience to install, and the parts are specific to each installation. It costs just a little more, but gives you the option of feeding any circuit in your panel that your generator can handle. The cord you need would be #10 awg, the 120 and 240 designation indicates you will need a neutral, two hots and a ground, so it would be a 4 wire cord.

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:how do I replace this, the wire is built into the speaker and runs into the unit.

If you have enough wire, just twist it back together and cover the open wiring with electrical tape. If he took out a chunk of wire, just buy some more speaker wire and do t he same thing. The wires should be red and black, just connect the red to the red and the black to the black. It's a really quick and easy fix you can do yourself.

Q:THERMOSTAT WIRING

Connect the red wire to the R terminal on the t-stat, connect the white wire to the W terminal, connect the green wire to the G terminal and connect the blue wire to the Y terminal on the t-stat. The B terminal is not used on most thermostats. Unfortunately most manufacturers of thermostat wire do not make 4-wire with a yellow wire and instead make it with a blue wire, that is why they don't match up perfectly. The red wire provides 24v power from the furnace, the white wire controls the call for heat from the t-stat, the green wire controls the fan, and the blue wire/yellow terminal controls the air conditioner.
