the DIY Home Wiring Bible: Find Fault and Fix 99 Percent of Household Electrical Problems Yourself

Find the fault - then fix it yourself. A dead outlet, a breaker that keeps tripping, lights that flicker for no reason. The DIY Home Wiring Bible is organized by symptom, not by theory: you look up what is happening, follow the checks in order, and arrive at the cause - with 60 full-color figures and worked case files from real houses. Inside you will find: - Trace a dead outlet back to the connection that failed - Tell an overload from a real fault in a single test - Cure flickering lights, warm switches, and buzzing panels - Fix three-way and four-way switches that stopped working >Written for the homeowner who would rather understand than replace parts and hope. Every fault has a cause, and this book teaches you how to find it - including the point where the smart move is to stop. Always turn off power at the breaker and follow local code. When in doubt, consult a licensed electrician.
