Christmas light blew out-now all are out on that side. Solution?

Question

I accidentally touched a broken bulb with pliers and it sparked. Dumb, I know. I have reset the breaker (it was't blown anyway), as well as the GFCI on that outlet. Yet all lights are still out. The bulbs still work because I switched one to see. These are outdoor lights. Both sides of the outlet still work.

Answer 1

If you have checked the bulbs and they all work then check the plug in part of the cord and see if it opens an there is a fuse inside it that needs replaced.

Answer 2

You need to replace the bulb that was bad and check to see if others got blown with the power surge. It's possible the whole wire on that side was damaged and you'll have to replace the entire light

Answer 3

usually the bulb closest to the plug in, is the one that needs to be replaced to get the other ones working, or look at the light carefully and you can see if they are burned out.

Answer 4

Are you sure all the bulbs still work? If you blew another one out, that would cause all those after it to stop working.

Answer 5

on the beggining of the twine, the place you plug it in at. There could be a slider. You slid it back and take out the little sparkling glass issues. positioned one in the sunshine and look threw if theres no liquid then there achieved. Or if its Blackish Brown. If theres liquid there high-quality, that is between the lights linked to this is completed. or lacking.

Answer 6

It would be better if you just bought some cheap, but functional lights. It takes forever to match sizes for the lights and the stores are always out of stock.

Answer 7
