Thre low volt wires go to and from your thermostat
you can strip the wires about an inch or so and twist the coressponding colors together thanwrap each one indivually with electrical tape the low voltage won't shock you

If the wires are just cut. Splice each wire back together. Other wise look at your tsat and check your wire there; mark your color code(wire color) as they are attached R,G,Y,O,ETC. If you have a heat pump there will be at least four wires and if it is not a heat pump it will have a minimum of two wires. Open your condensor and find the wiring diagram. Compare your colors from the tstat. It will be listed as the letter just as your tstat. Connect accordingly.
Hello TLOEKS You blew the transformer FUSE inside the blower unit! It should be a 5amp blade fuse like the one that goes in a car.It is located at the curcit board at the blower compartment.Replace that to restore low voltage power and every thing will work.Strip back the wire and match color to color to resplice it make sure that they will not touch at any time or the new fuse will blow too.wire nut or electrical tape the wire repair.
The connectors get loose and corrode over time, resulting in a high resistance connection that produces a lot of heat, melting the connections, as you have witnessed. Cut back the wires to good insulation and splice them with waterproof splice connectors or waterproof wire nuts from the local hardware.
You'll need two connectors or wire nuts. Each connector will connect 3 wires: one wire IN from upstream , one wire OUT to the next light, and one wire to the light.
Since the voltage is 12 volts AC, polarity doesn't matter, however, if you look closely at the cable, you'll see that one of the wires has ridges.
Now is also a good time to check the connectors on the other lights.
get yourself a RIB (relay in a box) relay that is rated at 24/120. Also purchase a 24 volt door bell transformer. Wire 2 24 volt thermostat from one side of the transformer to the low voltage side of the relay then to the 24 volt thermostat than back to the other low voltage wire of the transformer. On the high voltage side, from your light bulb cut the wire going to the center lug of the light. Run one side of the wire to one side of the high voltage side of the relay, then run a wire from the other side of the relay (again high voltage side) to the the other side of the wire you cut on the light.
The white wires are neutral. The low voltage wires are used on the thermostat terminal and the 12 pin connector. The high voltage wire uses the spade terminals. Trace back the wires to each component and you will know which connection goes where.
sir, you have a voltage drop problem. you make no mention of what wire size you are running to the fixtures or what the voltage is required. I need to know the wire size you have and the voltage required to run the lamps to come to any decision to repair your problem. write me back at [email protected] and we'll see what we can do.
If the amp is in protect mode, it probably has shorted output transistors. To eliminate other possible problems, do the following. I'll assume that you've checked the amplifier's on-board fuses.
With your multimeter set to DC volts, the black meter lead on the ground terminal of the amp (not on the point where the ground wire connected to the vehicle) and the head unit on (so the amp will have remote voltage applied), touch the red lead alternately to the B+ and remote terminals of the amp. If the voltage is below ~11 volts, you need to check the wiring feeding whichever line is too low.
If the voltage remains near or above 12v, disconnect all speaker wires from the speaker terminals of the amp and disconnect signal cables from the amp. If it powers up, the wiring needs to be checked. If it still shuts down, the amp almost certainly has shorted output transistors and will need to be repaired.
