[QUOTE="Carolina Photo Guy, post: 62932, member: 1556"] You have a dead short. A loose connection results in increased amperage and heat on that particular circuit, but not a glow. A glow is the result of a solid connection between both positive and negative sides, ergo a light bulb or a stove burner. You seem to have some confidence in your electrical ability. Without meaning insult, this confidence is misplaced. You do NOT have the ability to properly diagnose and correct this problem. You do need to get a "sparkey", however you have not considered the ramifications of your actions. The wiring in your entire house has been stressed by this event. You are probably looking at having to re-wire and or upgrade your house wiring to restore the system back to a safe and efficient state. Be careful Bubba. I've gotten used to seeing your posts on here. I would hate for these posts to be the last I ever see from you. :( Let us know what happens. [/QUOTE]
