If you have a blank space you can add a breaker, never put 2 wires in one breaker
Talking about two wires in one breaker...
Just recently my skylight in my main bathroom stopped working , so tested everything starting with the control switch/board.
Tested that by swapping it with another board from another working skylight and that checked out fine, meaning I still didn't get the skylight to work so I knew it wasn't the control swiitch.
As well as the fuse inside seemed intact, confirmed that with a MM.
Thinking that there's no electric coming into the control panel so used a Greenlee digital tester which has a function by placing the actual multi meter near live wires it will show a set of bars ranging from 1 to 4 depending how strong the current is, placed it there and saw 1-2 bars so I knew that was all fine.
Then jumped to the motor of the skylight thinking it's quite old as I've been using it each and every night before my shower or if I wanted some fresh air.
Swapped it with another one from a working skylight and still nothing, so went ahead and check all the crimped wire connections , but nothing doing everything seemed fine.
Now to make sure all the wires were in tack and there's no short in the wire, I started with 2 wires at a time and completed the circuit by connecting two together and then two together by the control board.
In English there were 2 wires running from the panel to the bathroom skylight control board which gave power, that seemed fine so left it alone.
Then those two wires were screwed onto a control board/switch which allowed you to open and close the skylight. And from there went another 3 wires going straight up to the sky light.
So took two wires at a time while connecting two up by the skylight and then with my multimeter on the other end tested to see if it's a complete circuit, all checked out fine with all three wires.
So my next step was to see if there was actually power coming to the board which seemed to show there was originally, while I had no clue how to test with a multimeter what current I should test for with these low voltage stuff.
So did it the old fashioned way by taking some wire I had roaming around and took off another working skylight control switch which was close by and tapped into the wires going onto the board to power the skylight to see if that was the culprit.
That tests worked out fine and allowed the skylight to work, now it seemed that there was some issue from the panel because the two wires weren't powering the bathroom skylight, while the other one worked flawlessly.
Went to the breaker box to see what's doing , all seemed fine as well.
Used a tester which showed current going through.
Wires were a bit loose so tightened that , don't exactly enjoy having loose wires in my panel box.
("Oh and I forgot to meantion, that indeed there was 2 wires going into the same breaker, seems like they wired both skylights to the same breaker.")
Now last but not least I was left with no choice but to check the transformer, googled a few videos of how to test that, and went on with that test, removed it from the wall and actually swapped it again with the working one and Bam that was the issue.
So for the time being I just took the working one, and now in the works of finding a new transformer that would fit the hole in the wall so I can screw it in the same place without the need to play around and make new holes.
Maybe one of you guys would be of help with some leads on where to get another one from, or a compatible one that would work. ( It was a Truth skylight , which had a Truth transformer but had no luck searching for that.)
Too bad I didn't come here for some help, wonder if you guys would have recommended to check the transformer right away.
But thank God I was able to fix it.
Not fun at all to come out of a shower In a steaming hot, and wet bathroom.
Sorry for boring you guys, but that was my two wire story!
Have you ever seen a multi meter blow up in someone's face?
That story sounds familiar!
