Steps 1
- Turn off the main power to the fuse box .
- This is typically located in a separate box near the fuse panel.
- Pull the large lever switch to the down position to turn it off.
- Test a few lights to make sure the power is off before continuing with your repair.
Steps 2
- Remove the fuse from the affected socket, which may be burned, or look melted around the edges.
- Use pliers if required to twist the fuse out counterclockwise.
Steps 3
- Locate the single small slotted screw in the bottom of the socket.
- If the socket is charred, use a flashlight for better visibility.
- Use a standard screwdriver to remove this screw, turning it counterclockwise until it drops from its hole into the socket.
- Keep the screw and reuse it.
Steps 4
- Pull the socket out of the panel with pliers, to expose the wires behind. Pull the socket our far enough to twist it around to see the rear of it.
- Use the screwdriver to loosen the two screws holding the wires to the back of the socket.
Steps 5
- Wrap the wires around the screws of the new socket.
- Push the wires back into the hole and fit the socket into place.
- Insert the mounting screw into the hole in the socket and turn it clockwise to tighten it.
Steps 6
- Replace the fuse with a new fuse and restore the main power.
- Test the light, or outlet connected to the new socket to ensure proper operation.
- If the fuse pops or the problem persists, consult an electrician to ensure proper repairs are made to maintain safety.
