If you have any condition in your bathroom where a switch is malfunctioning you need to replace the switch or the device that is causing the problem. This is very dangerous in a bathroom because of the increased danger of shock because of moisture.

What would cause a fuse to blow when turning the light switch off if you have 3 switches hooked up in your bathroom and the power blows every time you turn the switch off but not while it is on?
Is it just one switch that causes it or do they all cause it? Sometimes a switch will cause a surge when turned off because electricity will arc inside the switch trying to continue powering the device. This can be seen if you unplug an appliance while its still on: you'll see an arc at the outlet. Loose wiring at the switch or anywhere on the circuit will cause this as well.
What does there she blows mean?
There she blows is a term whalers used when on the look out for whales. While hunting a whale has to come up for air to breath, and when that happens they shoot a plume of water out of their blowhole to clear the tubes (like a human would using a snorkel if it had become submerged). The plume is tracked, the ship turned, and they try to harpoon the whale.

Why is sound made when the wind blows through telephone wires?
1.The wind blows hard to create a sound so when the wind blows the wires start shaking and making another sound so together they make a loud sound. 2. When the wind blows through the telephone wires the wind blows the wires forcing them to vibrate. so technically because the wind makes the telephone wires vibrate. your welcome.
What are some applications for parallel circuits?
Wiring for power in buildings is in parallel. If it was in series every time a light or power switch was turned off, the entire building would be turned off. This can be seen with Christmas tree lights when one bulb blows every bulb goes out.

How do you find a short in an 97 Nissan Sentra that blows the fuse for the tail lights and dash lights when you turn the lights on?
Try removing bulbs from all exterior lights turn switch on to see if fuse blows--if not replace one bulb at a time to determine where problem is. If fuse blows without bulbs could very well be switch "dead shorted" to ground IM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM SO IF YOU FIGURE IT OUT PLEASE LET ME KNOW AT GODLIVERKILLA@YAHOO.COM A mechanic told me that the switch that is on the column is usually the problem. Cost about 70.00 . Raygracik@msn.com
1992 Buick Roadmaster the tail lights nor dash lights work tried replacing the fuse the lights and the switch and nothing seems to help Fuse just blows What else could be the problem?
If the fuse keeps blowing, there is a short somewhere. Since the dash and tail lights both go through the headlight switch, I would check the wires from the switch connection all the way to the tail lights, and the dash lights. Somewhere, a wire is crushed to ground or something like that. Make sure your switch is property connected and is a good switch! Good luck!

Are the dash lights and tail lights jointly connected on a 1998 Chevrolet 1500?
Usually. Most GM vehicles put the instrument cluster and the tail lights on the same fuse so that if the tail light fuse blows you'll know something is wrong and hopefully get it repaired. The headlight switch uses the same fuse circuit to run both the tail lights and the dash lights. If the fuse is ok, check the headlight switch.
How do you find a short in an 95 Chevrolet pick up that blows fuse for th tail lights and dash lights when you turn the lights on?
Try removing the tailight fixtures from the rear of the truck (GM had some problems with these) Replace fuse and see if it blows again. If so problem may be a dead short in the dash panel or in the switch itself. If it doesn't blow check and/or replace rear tailight fixtures
Why do you blow the fuse for your dash lights and marker lights every time you turn the switch?
You have a short to ground somewhere. Start at each lamp socket, then the wiring and look for problems. Possible bad headlight switch. Also in checking shorts, don't forget the license plate light in addition to all marker lights. Dash lights normally go out when the tail light fuse blows as dash lights are fused from the tail light circut.

Why do the dashboard lights go off on a 1995 Grand Prix when headlights are turned on?
When you turn on the headlight switch, you are turning on 2 circuits. The headlights are on one circuit and the other circuit is the tail lights and the dash lights. The tail lights are on a separate fuse and the dash lights feed off that circuit with usually a 5 amp fuse also. Sometimes when the dash lights don't work, the dash light fuse is blown. Sometimes the tail light fuse blows and it feeds 12v to the dash fuse. Also a bad headlight switch can cause the dash (and or tail lights), not to work also. Do you see two green arrows and no dash lights?. A loose ground clip is the suspect and a real pain to fix. A hard slap with the palm of your hand on the hump forward of the steering wheel has turned the lights on every time I have tried it. You must know all of the bulbs will never burn out at the same time also the fuse controls several other things including those two green arrows.
