Dietdewboy 0 Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 A squirrel ate the plug end off one of my LED nets, chewed them flush with the plastic plug. Now I can’t tell which wire goes where, it’s a 3 wire system. Any thoughts on how to repair these? Link to post Share on other sites
Big J Illinois 475 Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Follow the wire that goes the the adjacent light...that one is FOR the light, post a pic if you can Link to post Share on other sites
Dietdewboy 0 Posted December 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 I’ll get some pictures tomorrow, lights are in the garage, it’s 14 degrees out and the wind is humming tonight. Link to post Share on other sites
qberg 157 Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 That is why you can't cut that warning label off the strands...the squirrels can't tell that those strands contain lead and will kill them! I really don't see what squirrels see that is so appealing to eat, but I have had them chew through my RGBs (Red, blue, green wires) once as well. Do you have another set to compare? Then you can trace the wires back and make them match. Link to post Share on other sites

Or fix it after the season. Merry Christmas! Link to post Share on other sites

Dietdewboy 0 Posted December 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 All fixed, traced out the ground, capped it off then took the 2 hot leads and wire nutted then together. I will put a new female plug on after the season. Thanks everyone Link to post Share on other sites
