- Perhaps I'm missing something fundamental here but I can't understand why increased resistance would cause heat and increased current draw. Ohm's Law states V=I*R. If the resistance increases the cur

- The short answer is that in this case the resistance of the switch went from essentially zero to some larger value, but the circuit still has anohter element, the brake lights. Therefore the current

- Let's try this again. Purely theoretical: If the brake circuit consisted only of the switch and brake lights (and a 12 volt battery), and the brakes normally drop 12 volts, and the switch zero, than

- Fred and others, Since I started this brake switch is hot thread, I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in. In my tiny mind I understand it this way. Voltage is like the pressure of water in a pipe and curr

- OK Now I'll throw my $.02 in. Yes, voltage is like electrical pressure (PSI) in your water system. Current flow (Amps) is like the amount of water that comes out of the tap (gallons per minute). You

- well, it is a well known fact that all things electrical run on smoke and that wires carry the smoke from place to place in the car. Things that use a lot of smoke use big wires, like the starter for

- ELECTRICITY IS SMOKE! The nature of what we refer to as “electricity” has been discussed and disputed for at least 200 years. An elaborate theory based on electrons has been built up over these years
