Fixing a Faulty Light Switch

avatar

Electrical devices are sometimes things that we can never predict, and they can decide to break down at any time. This was the way it happened today when I went to my friend's house, and we noticed the bulb switch was faulty. We were hoping to leave it and manage for some time before it suddenly stopped working, and then we had to go out to an electrical store close by the house.

We got a new switch and two bulbs to replace the burned ones. When we got back home, I started fixing the switch, but when I opened the switch box, I noticed the connection made was not the straight connection that was supposed to be there, so without stressing myself, I had to follow what the engineer had done in the past.

When I did it with the new switch we bought, I noticed the way the switch was controlling the bulbs in the house was quite different from the way it was before, so I had to now reset the connection to my own way because it was confusing. On resetting it the first time, I made the wrong connection, which didn't allow the whole light to come on.


Then I went back to the switch to trace back the connection to see why it was not coming up again. Then I changed where the neutral wire was and then placed it in another part of the connector, and then the light came up, but it was controlled by just a controller in the switch, and then I changed another wire again to the other side, and then the light finally came on after all the stress I went through.

That is just what it is about fixing electrical appliances sometimes. When it doesn't give you the easy access to fix any fault, you have to go the hard way to make this happen if you really need to get it fixed. Thanks for checking this out today.
