Two terminal wires should be visible.

Troubleshooting led christmas light strings.

Most brands of led christmas light incorporate a fuse in each strand. Then a whole string or perhaps a half string circuit would go out. These lights are key. The fuse is most often located behind an access door on the strand s plug.

Simply plug in the light strand and remove a bulb that s in or near the dark section. Fixing any broken circuit involves locating the break then repairing it. I have a string of led christmas lights with a problem about 1 2 of the lights are on but very dim the other second half is on normal. To replace the fuse you must slide the access door open pop out the tiny fuse and replace with a new one.

The next string which is plugged in after the problem string works normal. By removing from socket. If the entire string is out start with a bulb at the end of the string. If half the string is out look for the dead bulb closet to the end.

Plug the string of christmas lights into the wall socket. I fixed mine by taking a copper wire about 1 5 cm 5 8 long and inserting it into the hole alongside the broken terminal wire. It can sometimes prove difficult to slide open the access door on a plug. If not you may have found your culpret.

A faulty shunt may sound like a catastrophic failure but you can often fix it with the lightkeeper pro.
