tacomabanga1986 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 x2^^ we had the same prob so i replaced the switch and it fixed it, ied try takein the light down, but first of all turn off power the the light and check for volts befor u start fukin with it or u'll come out lookin like uncle festus lol, and after that ied see if the wires came loose, and if they have make sure there bent around the screw goin in the clockwise direction, if there in the conter clockwise direction when u tighten the screw it will pull the wire out from behind the screw and it will come loose, and ur best bet for replaceing the wire is the junction box and maby some conduit flex with some 14guage stranded wire make sure u get black, white and green, and make sure u ground the box with a pigtail from the ground wire also from the romex should be solid copper and replace the wire if its broken or coroded, but if not maby a simple light houseing change will work?, but ied do switch first, then light houseing, then wire and if that dont work ghosts ftmfl Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanz Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 HAHAHA lol ghosts Quote That's why they don't deliver. Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait. You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

ISO Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 First thing I would do is pull the light fixture down and make sure the stranded wire is wire nutted (twisted together propperly) to the Romex (solid wire) propperly.

BigPimpin91 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 lol ghosts....if you have a decent knowladge of elec then if it does need the wire replaced its not hard to do or expensive, maybe 35-40 dollars for a roll or romex and junction box (if you have to splice into the wire) and shouldnt take but maybe a hour or 2 to complete, but i would do the switch first and then the fixture then the wire when all else fails Agreed. Remember, House Wiring is opposite of vehicle wiring. Your BLACK is hot and WHITE is Neutral. Green is Ground.

Aaron813 Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 there are a few things that could be the problem, 1. bad switch or going bad =$.50 replacemt 2. bad light assembly and just needs to be replaced due to age and over heated internals $7-15.00 3. rodent has half way chewed thru the wires $take loan out and let the pros deal with that crap lol... I wish switches were only $.50 ya its probably a bad ground if it does it when you walk then its most likely just a shit wiring job thats causing vibrations and knocking something loose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrwigglezdj Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 if there are more than 1 light on the switch, but the other 2-3 are fine then i would say its just a failing light fixture and very simple to fix Quote Americas loudest work van2006 iasca heavyweight bassboxing champion at 150.4 db with 60second average TL8 memphis PR15s,12 memphis PR6.5's coax,4 memphis PR 1inch tweets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
