OEM okorder /
1994 crown vic but it seemed like only 3 or 4 wires matched up exactly and this one wire was way to short so i had to route it the best way i could the guy said it was the right set of wires but the car runs way better then it did just wondering should i change couple of wires around to make it fit or just leave it what does crossing the wires mean
doad ya evehh hard a' punctuation? GETCHA SUMM
The outlet box has 2 black wires capped together, 2 white wires capped together, 2 bare wires capped together, and a single red wire. The light fixture I want to install is a two bulb fixture that has 2 black wires, 2 white wires, and 1 bare wire.
It is obvious from the question that you have zero knowledge of wiring. While this is an extremely basic thing to do, I think it is better to get a professional so you and your house will be safe. Electricity is too dangerous to do without even the most basic understanding of safe procedures and standards. You will get people telling you how easy this is, but I would rather have you safe than try this your self.
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
I just purchased a Pyle Audio aftermarket radio. The wiring is very different actually. It only has 2 single speaker wires (1for each side). So do I hook up multiple wires to one wire or what? I was thinking that I hook up the left front and rear speakers to the left speaker wire and vice versa for the other side. Need some advice.
Wow. I haven't seen a car stereo with that style of wiring in 20 years. Their is no manual online so I am going to assume that it is setup the same as stereos made in the 1980's. You are correct, both left speaker positives go to the left channel wire and the same for the right side. All four speaker negatives go to the ground wire. That means a total of six wires being connected together ( ground from stereo, ground from car, four speaker negatives ).and the red goes to full time battery power. The pics I have seen do not show a yellow memory wire, so you will have to remember to turn the stereo off when you get out of the car. Or it will play til it runs the battery down. Also, you didn't say what kind of car you have, but if it's a modern car with fuel injection and a ECM, I would bet you are going to have ignition noise problems. It's one of the many reasons people stopped using common ground car stereos.
subs - dvc 4ohm 2 of them 600wattrms on each wiring it to a 1200 watt amp same brand as sub amp is 1 ohm stable to i wire the subs together and then to the amp a 1ohm? that would give each sub 600 watts right?
The current passing through the wires will cause the wires to heat up if not sufficient guage. Think of the millions of little electrons pushing and shoving back and forth, all this action causes friction on a molecular level and of course we all know friction equals heat. In a bigger guage wire there is more room for the same number of electons. It's really that simple. Use as heavy a guage speaker wire that you can. You will have no signal loss and little heat.
Replacing my 3 prong dryer outlet but there is a blk, red, wht, and a bare wire in the box. I know where the colored ones go on the outlet but what do I do with the bare one? I didn't remove the old one so I don't know how the old 3 prong outlet was wired with these wires. Thanks.
4 wires means you need a matching 4 wire receptacle.* Black and red go to L1 L2, the white to N and the bare wire goes to the green screw. If the wall box is metal the ground needs to attach there as well. Then replace the cord on the dryer to match that configuration. Most dryers are 220/240 volt 30 amps. * Now you are in compliance with current National Electric Code standards and your insurance company will thank you. (well not really, but it sounds good)
Ok, I am having trouble installing a new car radio in my 97' Honda Civic Lx. It's just a basic pioneer cd player.. I matched all the colored wires up and still nothing. My brother had told me something about + - for example do i hook the green stripped wire with a flat green wire? Vice versa.. Help please.. Also If you know of a web site with diagrams?
they make wiring harness adapters where all you do is match the colors and plug them in. yes u do have to match the wires with stripes (i.e. green with stripe to green with stripe) but if you have already done this you may have blown the channels if you have crossed the wrong wires
