Can someone explain this to me(Diagram Included)

Recent discussion:

Cooper: The black dots just mean the wire is connected . You see how sometimes when two lines cross there's a black dot, and sometimes one wire looks like its a bridge or hopping over the other wire ? When its a dot that means the wire is actually connected in real life . When its hopping over the other wire that means the wires aren't connected in real life (they might not even be close together) but because of how the diagram is drawn they had to cross in the drawing .

 

Ccab: okay but HOW do you connect those wires together like that..I still dont seem to understand that. How do you take one long positive wire and cut the other 3 positive wires short and attach them all to the one long one..its not comprehending in my brain. lol.

this. ^^ is what I dont understand. is there some kind of thing I need to buy to connect them like that. HOW are they connected?

I explained the circuit. You said to refer to the original post and I did. You want to know how to connect more than 1 wire to a single strand? Distribution block, butt connectors, spade terminals, solder, etc. This is not rocket science.

you didnt say that the first time. but now I do understand. how hard was that? can I get those things from an auto parts store? like the butt connectors?

The professional installer you take it to will know where he can get what he needs to do it right the first time.

I am getting the sense that I will be reading in the paper shortly about some idiot who burned his vehicle and house down because he was attempting to hook up some lights...stay away from Christmas trees! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

There it is genius. It shows that all neon tubes are in parallel. This is because in a parallel circuit the voltage stays the same across all components. The switch is inline on the positive wire and it completes or disconnects the circuit. I implore you to not attempt this yourself. You are clearly not capable.

x2. We tried to explain to you and still no comprende? Get a book or two on 12v electronics, and read, read, read. Watch a couple of videos or something. But educate yourself before you do anything. While the tubes won't draw nearly enough amps to start a fire, a short can kill your battery like you wouldn't believe.

Yes! On his previous thread, I told him where he could get butt connectors!

I think I know where he should place the butt connectors....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif
