There are 4 wires in the box
There are 4 wires in the box. All of them are black.
Three go to the wires entering the box. One is connected to a screw on the back of the metal box. Since black wires are all supposed to always go to the brass colored screw on the outlet, I connected all four of them to them screwes. It was hard getting all 4 of them to stay under the two brass screws. I finally got all of them on the outlet and now the fuse keeps blowing. I even used a bigger fuse. The original was a 15, I used a 30. I cant find any 50 or larger size fuses. I know a bigger one would probably work. Where can I buy larger fuses? The hardware store dont have them. I wired it as it's supposed to be. It clearly says on the website all black wires go to brass color screws. Anyhow, I put a penny under the fuse and there was a puff of smoke from the outlet and now there is no power at all in the hole house. This is ****ing me off. Right before Easter and we got no power in the hole ****ing house. I'm trying to get drunk, and the ****ing wife keeps bitching. Guess I say **** it and **** her. Its time to go to the bar. She's the one who blew out that outlet anyhow with all her ****ing electric cooking ****. Especually that damn big ham cooker thing. Let he fix it. Think i'll spend easter in the bar. |

It's made for such things. |

If you go to the same bar day after day to drink, you have a re-bar. Unless you go to a different bar, and in that case if you keep going to that different bar, that one becomes the re-bar. |
