Mother Nature fooled me

[rooster]

I didn't get all my wiring completed when I had to store my tear away for the winter. I marked the 12VDC wires where they had to be, but during the winter Mother Nature had my markers fall off.

I have three hot wires and three nutural wires. Can I tie the three nutral wirers together and touch each hot wire to see what lights up? Help!!

Jim,

...yep, you can run all three grounds(common) to negative and then touch each lead to the positive side and see what lights ups...although if YOU touch the hot side, you might be the one to LIGHT up.....

Jim,

Don't know what voltage you are using, 12 VDC or 115 VAC, but if you want to be on the safe side, you can use an ohm meter. Just turn on the light/device, and look for a short on the wire pair with the meter.
