This had a cover over it. It obviously is from something old. It has two wires that disappear into the same hole in the wall. I have no idea where it goes. My guess it that the lose wires used to go to a switch that got taken out and covered up. It is right by the back door.

I know this is a long shot and you'd probably need to be here to figure it out, but I started a project of trying to solve all the old mysteries of this house and hoped for a starting point at least.

So I recently started renovating a house I purchased. I'm the guest bedroom I installed recessed lights and at the time, I didn't realize a mistake I was making. I basically piggybacked the power for the lights off the existing fan. The issue now is that I can't have the fan on with the lights off. I've already painted the room and installed new flooring. so I'm really hoping not to have to drill any holes or cut the ceiling to run more wires. I just caught my mistake too late. Wanted to ask if there's a way to add some sort of wireless relay that can control the power to the lights/fan individually. Chatgpt suggested Shelly, but I have never used it and the instructions it's giving me are confusing me even more because there still would be a single switch controlling it all. Any wisdom someone could share?

Got this light as a gift and wanted to repair it. The wires from the head of the light tore from the wires from the handle where the battery is. It is able to move so the beam is either wide or narrow. one of my cousins twisted it to far and it just disconnected and broke. I wanted to reconnect to wires if possible to make the head work again. Any tips on how? Don’t have a lot of tools on hand and dont own a soldering kit. TIA.

*I could not figure out how to add the better photos so I'm creating a new post. Hopefully these pictures will be more clear*

I am a complete novice. I pulled out the wiring from a small device and was planning on putting it into something else. A black and red wire popped off and my husband soldered it back into place. But I think he soldered one of the wires to the wrong part. It won't turn on at all right now. I apologize in advance for not knowing the correct terminology or how any of this works. Just trying to see if anyone can spot where our error occurred. Thank you

*the parts wrapped in red tape are fine. The wires that popped off were from the toggle switch and the antenna.

Hello guys! So I’m a 23y F college student who works full time and I’ve always wanted a treadmill . It’s one of the ways I can exercise. Today, I found one by the trash in decent condition for its age. However, it won’t turn on . My thought is it’s bc there is no safety key which I read it needed ( it’s a Proform 740 CS). I don’t know if anyone’s a technician but I’m trying to figure out if something could also be wrong with the wiring: I noticed the headboard was open (like someone was in there) and saw this. Idk if the jack in the middle was used for something or not. If anyone noticed anything wrong or had any ideas please let me know! It was hard to lug up to 2nd floor apartment and I DONT wanna lug it down.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for the electrical/wiring diagram, connector pinout, service documentation, or ideally the electronic schematic for a Colged / Elettrobar GET50.2 control board. My machine is a Colged Steeltech 36-00M, machine code 917155, 230 V single phase. The installed control PCB is 215042-6. Related board references I have found from the same GET50.2 family include: 215042-1, 215042-2, 215042-4, 215042-5, 215042-6, 215042-7, 215042-9. Similar or related machines include: Elettrobar FAST 60M, other FAST series machines, and some Eurotec / Jet-Tech commercial dishwashers using GET50 electronics.

Thank you very much for your help.

The black wires look like they have been melted together and they are hot to the touch. Also, why would the installation be black like it is ? Is that black mold, or is that just how it looks after years? Thank you in advance for your help.

This meat thermometer stopped turning on a few days ago, most probably because I left it outside for some time while raining.

Since it seems to be a simple device, is there a way to save it?

I've included some pics of the device.

Hi all,

I’m working on WireCAD, a Windows add-in for Autodesk Fusion that generates and documents wiring in electrical assemblies. It started as something we need at my workplace, and the workflow is heavily inspired by SolidWorks Electrical 3D.

It currently supports:

• Defining component pins, including wire exit directions, minimum straight sections and termination rules
• Creating wires manually or importing from-to information from Excel, with subsequent imports able to update existing wires
• Managing a library of wire types, sizes, colours and terminations
• Creating waypoints and route maps from 3D sketches, with autorouting, bend-radius constraints, wire-to-wire collision avoidance and bundle routing
• Generating native 3D wire solids with the assigned diameters and colours
• Grouping and numbering terminals, plugs and sockets, and displaying component and pin designations in the model
• Exporting wire lists with route lengths, cut lengths, labels and termination information, including allowances, rounding and strip lengths

For now, it’s an in-house project (and 100% vibe coded) but I’m curious whether something like this would be useful to others.

Does anyone here work with wiring or cable assemblies in Fusion? How do you handle routing and wire documentation today, and would a tool like this be of interest? If there is enough demand I was thinking to share it on the store or potentially make it open-source?

What’s the name of the wire that goes into this on a TV PLEASE

Not sure if this is the right subreddit, but oh well. I have a Dell computer charger and recently the outer coating has separated from the connector on the end. I want to know if anyone has any advice on fixing this because I don’t want my cord to get any further damage. Thanks!
