Either of above with Neon indicator? Conventional plug and socket?

It's most likely a harmlessly flickering red neon indicator, which shows the fuse has not blown, the problem is elsewhere. We can't possibly know where from so little information. NT |

Its just the connections to the neon or if you are really unlcky, one of the
screws to the socket is loose but I'd have thought this would have generated arcing or local heat in the socket. I have a storage heater on off switch box like this. Since I lost my sight I can no longer see it, its been checked and there is nothing wrong with it, just the design of the way the neon wire and t its series resistor are bodgily clamped under a couple of metal strips under the switch part.

If its a normal 13A socket with a neon (rather than a switched FCU etc), then its possible the fuse in the plug has blown, but the neon would still show power being fed to the plug. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
