SOURCE: New wired Heath/Zenith doorbell buzzes until disconnected

it sounds like you have a bad push button . if the wires where crossed you would most likely have this problem as soon as you turned on power .

SOURCE: 03 Trailblazer Blower Resistor connector different

the resistor you bought is for manual heating, your three wire is more a module then a resistor. you need the module for the automatic heating system, automatic heating has a digital display and manual has sliders.

SOURCE: i have a newer radio and want to install it, but

use a volt-meter or test light to find the positive supply power from your vehicles wires, and the ground wire too. attach those to the new radio's power wires (and attach the new radio's ignition power wire, or switching wire to the positive power wire from your vehicle too). The point will be to get power to the new radio so that you can do a trial by error to find which speakers turn on when you connect them. Just follow the sound! after you have found all the speaker wires. the last thing is to find which wire from your vehicle needs to be attached to the ignition wire on your radio. This wire makes sure your radio is off when your keys are turned off so not to drain the battery. if you cannot find a switching ignition wire, run a wire to a connection in the back of a fuse panel connection (which you can test any connection with your volt meter to see if it shuts off with the key.

SOURCE: I need to know what the various colored wires connect to since I needed to remove the old amp and install an after market stereo.

Check the speakers connection and that should give you at least 8 of the colors. The ones left then are going to be ground and power and display power. You can figure those out with a meter.

My Honeywell plug-in doorbell won't stop ringing

If your Honeywell plug-in doorbell won't stop ringing, there are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
1. Check the batteries: If your doorbell has batteries, make sure they are properly installed and have enough power. Replace them with new ones if needed.
2. Check the ring options: Press the ring option button with the music sign and cycle through the different ring options until you find one that stops the ringing.
3. Reset the doorbell: To reset the doorbell, unplug it from the wall outlet and wait for a few minutes before plugging it back in. This will allow the doorbell to reset and may solve the issue.
4. Check the chime settings: If your doorbell has multiple chime options, make sure the one that's causing the issue is not selected. You can cycle through the chime options using the settings button.
5. Contact customer support: If none of the above steps work, contact Honeywell customer support for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or offer a replacement if the doorbell is defective.

Nest hello

You'll need to connect all the devices to your home's WiFi. But you don't say for sure if the doorbell is wired or not. You said 16 amps, but didn't say what voltage - is that transformer for the doorbell specifically? Once you have downloaded the Nest app to your phone, there should be a help video that can help walk you through the remaining steps. Also, you need to download the Google Home app to your phone to complete the setup.

I am trying I install a ring pro on an existing old Heath-zenith doorbell but the doorbell has 4 wires instead of 2 described in the directions.

See if there is sufficient voltage between the two wires using a voltmeter. Also check that there is voltage coming out of the doorbell transformer to the wires, and power from the regular AC line going into the transformer. Sometimes the transformer dies and it's time for a new doorbell, although in the old setups, the transformer was separate from the doorbell.

Craftmade CA3-RC Artisan Door Chime

AC is likely to be the alternating current supply from the transformer.

I suspect two pairs of AC terminals are provided to allow one of two different chimes to be selected with one pair and the common being used for the 4 chime pattern and the other pair and common used for the 8 chime pattern.

The front, side and rear terminals are self explanatory connections from each bell-push with the supply (or return) or other wire from each bell push connected to the COM or common.

The manufacturer's website doesn't feature a wiring diagram though might send you an instruction book on demand. The site does include a note specifying only 18 gauge wire is to be used...

Installation of wired doorbell

yes it is very simple. All you have to do is connect either the two red wires together or the two black wires together and put the other remaining two on the doorbell chime to the common and front terminals. Here is how it works. One red wire leaves the transformer. It connects to the other red wire going to the pushbutton. When you press the button the voltage comes back to the bell on the black. You have the other black from the transformer on the bell so that completes the circuit. The only reason I say to put either the two blacks or two reds together is that way you're sure to have one wire from the transformer and one from the doorbell. Not a 'pair" of wires from each. 5ec779c.jpg

The doorbell buttons and your receiver must be on the same channel. If you will get out the directions that came with your unit, they will describe the process to go through to reset the specific "codes" for your buttons and receiver.

I changed the batteries on my door bell, and it still wont ring

Troubleshooting
Chime does not sound:
• Make sure the doorbell button and the chime codes are the same (See pages
2 and 3).
• Check orientation of doorbell button battery (See page 3).
• Check the doorbell button and chime batteries, replace if necessary.
Batteries seem OK, but the chime does not work when installed:
• Do not mount the chime or doorbell button on metal or near metal studs. This
reduces the transmitter range. Use 1/4" to 1/2" (6 to 13 mm) wood shims to
move the chime or doorbell button off the metal surface.
• Don't mount the chime too close to ground level concrete slabs. This may
also reduce the range. Mount the chime away from the floor.
• Try different locations for the chime closer to the doorbell button. Also try to
orient the chime at a different angle to increase the range.
The range of the doorbell depends on location, temperature and battery
condition.

Help - I am trying to install a honeywell RLV4300A

You will have to have schematics from the old wiring diagram. Then you will have to confirm its consistency with actual old wiring before you can be sure that the wires run to the proper places on the old heater and a/c system. This sounds like a gas furnace and is simpler than a heatpump. Once you know what distinguishes the wires with the same color, you should label them and then you may call them a different color if they were wired with wrong wire colors. You may be in luck if you go to the furnace control box an look at the terminals.. They are usually labeled with a R for Red and W for white and Bl for Blue and B or Black. If you have other colors on these then it sounds that it was wired with wire spare wire by someone who knew what they were doing but neglected to leave a path for someone else follow.
You may be able to use a continuity tester of circuit tester to id these wires that are in question...
ie, once indintified, you can match with the requirements of the new stat.
