Fiber optic light won't turn on
Comments (4)To transmit data via optical fiber, the incoming electrical signal is converted into a light pulse using a special electro-optical Converter. After that, the light beam starts moving along the cables. At the final point of its route, the beam enters an optoelectronic Converter, where it is converted into electronic signals. I think you have some problem with the wiring....See Morereplaced bathoom light switch; now exhaust fan switch won't work
Comments (7)Just to clarify - in plain english... Typically, you only have 1 live wire coming into a box with 2 switches. That live line is split and then goes to both switches - usually via 2 short wires. If you just hook the live wire to the first switch, then the second switch doesn't get power. Also, your husband may have done everything "right" and then knocked something loose while trying to stuff the wires and switch back into the box. If he isn't familiar with electrical work, the connection to the switch may not have been solid enough to withstand pushing it back in. That is actually pretty dangerous, so someone needs to open it back up and fix the problem asap....See MoreCeiling fan lights won't turn on

Comments (8)So it's connected to the furnace AND somehow timed with the bathroom light AND it has it's own switch?!? This is a bizarre setup. Did the electrician fix it such that it works in the strange manner you're describing or did he remove everything and the fan is only controlled by the switch now? Edited to add: Actually, when you mention the 'light' are you referring to some kind of activity light on the furnace? I interpreted it as the bathroom light. Either way, it's still bizarre....See MoreDavid Simpson
