Light bulb blowing frequently

There one socket that a lightbulb keeps bowing. Is that a sign of an electrical problem? If this is not the correct sight, can somebody direct me?

Thanks in advance.

You wrote, There is one sockec that lightbulbs keep blowing in.... Correct?

What type of light are we talking about? If it is a regular run of the mill porcelain lampholder there is not much to go wrong with the light itself. If on the other hand it is a Compact Flourenscent (CFL) there are a few components to it that can go wrong.

CAREFULLY visually inspect the inside of the socket if it is not a CFL and make sure there is no foreign material in it. Please write back with the type of light it is.

Bulbs can blow if there is a poor electrical connection/ terminal etc.

2003 Olds Alero keeps blowing fuse For dash and tail lights

Likely there's a wire loose that's shorting to the chassis. The way I troubleshoot these is to put a lightbulb in the fuse socket, and then go under the dash, and move stuff around while somebody watches the light. When it goes on, you're close to the problem. Yeah, it's a royal pain, but that's the best way I know.

Headlight bulbs keep blowing 2006 Hero Honda CD Deluxe

Either lose bulb but most likely a charging problem. Get DMM Nd test voltage at battery while the bike is running. Anymore than 14.3 volts you probably have a faulty voltage regulator.

1986 Ford F150: All my exterior lights function properly but my brake light fuse blows all the time, doesn't matter if it's started, in gear, turning w/wo a signal on, A/C can be off or on,,,but...

AutoZone has free diagrams on-line.
Sounds like a short in the brake light switch or at the bulb sockets themselves.

My lightbulb in my fridge won't go on

Check the tab in the center of he bulb socket. Unplug the frig first and gently pull it up a little. You should be using a 40 watt appliance bulb not a 60. If the tab is not the problem you may need a new switch.

Lightbulb on ceiling of oven went out. How do I

Hello :

1:Unplug the microwave oven from the outlet. Wait 20 minutes for the capacitor that is inside the microwave to discharge.

2:Unscrew all the screws around the casing by turning them counterclockwise.

3:Remove the cover by lifting off.

4:Locate the light bulb in the microwave. This will be located on either the right or left side.

5:Unscrew the light bulb by unscrewing counterclockwise. Some light bulbs are held into the socket by two notches; for these you will need to gently push on the bulb and turn counterclockwise to unsecure the bulb, then pull out of the socket.

6: Place your new bulb in the empty socket and secure by turning clockwise until tight, or if the bulb is one with notches on both sides, then guide the notches into the slot on the socket, push gently and turn clockwise until clicked into position.

7: Replace the cover and screw back on. You are now done and may plug back in the microwave.

Warning : Unplug the microwave before starting and wait 20 minutes for any residual electricity to be bled off from the capacitor.

Things you will need : Phillips screwdriver

good luck .

Reverse light fuse blows when put into reverse

Unfortunately, many possibilities. If you have time, start by removing both reverse lamp sockets from light assembly(and keep from touching any metal), remove bulbs from sockets, CAREFULLY INSPECT sockets and wires. New fuse of correct rating. Turn key on and try again in reverse.
Fuse still blows: Next place to look is transmission reverse electrical switch and wiring as far as you can trace looking for burned/stripped wires near transmission and wires by sockets
Fuse doesn't blow: Turn key off and install one lamp in socket at a time. DO NOT install sockets into fixture at this time. Test. Remove first lamp to check second. If still O.K., each socket back into fixture(one at a time same as before)and test. Most common problems: Sockets contaminated, wires shorting at sockets, bulbs installed incorrectly shorting to ground.

Electrical problem Cadillac

If there is no power to the sockets, changing the bulb wont correct the problem. Check all fuses. Check for current to the tailight. Check for ground to the tailight. Repair as nesessary.
Check cigarette lighter filament. It may be faulty. Check inside cigarette lighter socket. It may have a foreign material in it causing the short.
