jodil Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 This is a stupid question, I know... But I'm still learning! So if the fuse block is missing (see below) does that mean that whatever is running off of that connection has NO power?

jodil Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Originally posted by Bob White correct. missing fuse block, no electricity to the load. Ok, thats what I thought. But the panel cover says that fuse block was for upstairs lights, and everything there had power, so I started to second guess myself.. Thank you Bob!

Mark P Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 There is probably another electrical box in the house... did you see one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_ran Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 The home has been rewired and the power for that area is coming from somewhere other than that panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Chew Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Lots of rust inside that panel .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Not to mention that all abandoned wiring should be removed, including panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Tom's right. It's a good argument for a Wiggy. Test the lugs and see if it's still hot. Regardless of whether it is or not, it should all be removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
