Electrical Rv-electrical Question:
I have a 1992 Champion Mobile Home, recently a faucet handle broke causing water to flood my master bedroom and bathroom, and now for some reason half of the lights in the house don't work, all the outlets work fine, but the lights in the master bedroom, master bathroom, laundry room, and kitchen don't work.
Name Drew P.Hi Drew - Great Electrical Repair Question!
The first thing is to make sure that everything is dry, inside the electrical junction boxes and the devices. If there is any damage or corrosion then the devices may need to be replaced. Next I would look for tripped GFCI Outlets or Circuit BreakersStart with the bathroom, kitchen and there should be one for an outside outlet. Also, make sure all two pole circuit breakers have been toggled all the way off then back on. Let me know what you find out.

The Safest Way to Test Electrical Devices and Identify Electric Wires!The Non-Contact Electrical TesterThis is a testing tool that I have had in my personal electrical tool pouch for years, and is the first test tool I grab to help identify electrical wiring. It is a Non-contact tester that I use to easily Detect Voltage in Cables, Cords, Circuit Breakers, Lighting Fixtures, Switches, Outlets and Wires. Simply insert the end of the tester into an outlet, lamp socket, or hold the end of the tester against the wire you wish to test. Very handy and easy to use.
The Quickest Way to Check for Faulty Electrical Wiring!The Plug-In Outlet TesterThis is the first tool I grab to troubleshoot a problem with outlet circuit wiring. This popular tester is also used by most inspectors to test for power and check the polarity of circuit wiring.

Strip Off Wire Insulation without Nicking and Damaging the Electric Wire!The Wire Stripper and Wire CutterMy absolute favorite wire stripping tool that I have had in my personal electrical tool pouch for years, and this is the tool I use to safely strip electrical wires. This handy tool has multiple uses: The wire gauges are shown on the side of the tool so you know which slot to use for stripping insulation. The end of the tool can be used to grip and bend wire which is handy for attaching wire onto the screw terminals of switches and outlets.. The wire stripper will work on both solid and stranded wire.
