Matchless 2 Black And 1 Red Wire
I pulled the receptacle that i thought was the lead and found 6 wires inside.
2 black and 1 red wire. Your receptacle is half switched. Connect the black to one of the brass screws. 4 7 out of 5 stars 1 256.
In most cases you see a red wire in an outlet box only in special circumstances. The red was attached to the lower brass screw. 1 ground 1 red 2 white and 2 black.
Break out the tab between the brass screws. Step 4 place the prong of the multimeter s black wire on the bare metal on the end of a white wire then read the meter. In standard 120 volt wiring the hot wire is black but it can also be red.
You would pigtail the two blacks together along with a short black piece of wire. Other options new and used from 9 88. This is an older house circa 1967 and the wiring appears to be all over the place.
To take reasonable guess at your condition all of the whites go together all of the blacks go together the red goes on one brass connection on the receptacle and the 2 blacks go on the other. The positive wire on a multimeter is red and the black wire is negative. Connect the red to the other brass.
I have two outlets that don t work. One is that the outlet is a 240 volt one which requires an extra hot wire. Tyumen 40ft 18 gauge 2pin 2 color red black cable hookup electrical wire led strips extension wire 12v 24v dc cable 18awg flexible wire extension cord for led ribbon lamp tape lighting.
