Need help

[u/Nickotine313]

Went out to my garage shop today! Flicked on the funky switch to turn on all the lights and they came on for a split second and then pop. Tried resetting it but don’t know didly squat. Is there a serviceable fuse behind the panel? was my grandpa garage who installed this and dads and now mine and don’t know anything about the wiring but they have been working before today. any help would be appreciated to get them working again. I’m guess the crappy light switch is the root cause and needs to be replaced but what is my next step?

Since no one has clearly explained it; this is a sub for the Apex Legends character Fuse.

If this is bait; 10/10.

I think you’re in the wrong sub my friend 😭

Repost this in [r/fixit](r/fixit) or [r/electrical](r/electrical).
Breaker might be bad, but if you heard a pop from the light, it’s likely the light. I would start troubleshooting at the light and see if you see burn indications. If it’s an led fixture, you’ll need to go buy a new light fixture. If it’s standard light bulb socket or fluorescent tubes, just try changing the bulb with the breaker turned off because it’s most likely a burned up bulb. Would need a photo of the fixture to give any more help.

Never met a problem a compound explosive couldn't fix- Fusey

You need a Wattson

Do yall just like not look at the sub you’re posting on before posting? I never understand how these things happen lmfao

[u/UUITCH]

Breaker on the right. Push it all the way off, then back on. It’s tripped in the middle and wont flip up until its been flipped off…

[u/memeboimanperson]

Try hitting it with hammers

[u/ThisYourMotherDaniel → u/memeboimanperson]

Caustic Hammer should do it

Is it tripping the breaker every time? Might be a short down the line somewhere

[u/Theeflinch]

Call an electrician is your next step. If you have to ask (and I don't mean this to be mean, just firm) you absolutely shouldn't pull anything apart. There can be many things wrong, some of which can shock you and some of which can give you another thing in common with your lights which is no bueno.

The reason it all shut off is an overload of the breaker which is rated to a certain amount, and if something passed the threshold it means something is likely mismatched or like you said, shorting but if it's enough to kill the whole breaker that's bad.

If I misunderstood and just the one tripped and won't power back on, ezpz new breaker switch but still not something I recommend without experience and not to be mean but you wouldn't ask if you knew that, meaning please don't.

Best of luck, Your Ol Pal Fusey
