The one that doesn’t cause tingling

Zoey Alexander

They used to swap the neutral

Jeanette Fuller

Who is that?

Jesús Patiño

Is one of the old timers

Zoey Alexander

Retired

Conchita Toro

The one that remains silent when tested with the tick tracer haha

Emilie Williams

You might need to lick both to figure it out. It’s the best way.

Brativoy Dolinyak

Clearly it’s the one with the white stuff on it. What a silly person…

Abigail Robertson

Making a guess

Jesús Patiño

The white one 😂

Marc Rodriquez

The white one

Michelle Vasquez

The one that’s not powered

Genesis Edwards

Testing is the best way to find out for sure

Jamie Rodriquez

That wire looks kinda scary

Jairo Santiago

Hey Scott Woodworth, start with cotton wire, heat shrink tubing…

Alan Fuller

Every electrician’s worst nightmare. 🙋‍♂️

Ron Sims

Measuring voltage

Jairo Santiago

Wow, that tic tester is something to think about 🤔

Theo Harcourt

The one that has the white substance on it

Jairo Santiago

Yikes, I’ve seen that in older infrastructure… lockout tagout 🧐

Jairo Santiago

Just got hit! 😨😆

Tomothy Barrett

Why not try sticking the wire in your urethra to see what happens

Joaquín Bahena

Seems like the RH wire is taped up.
You might want to consider rewiring

Sofia Tremblay

Hmm, could it be that the fixture was made in China and uses non-rated bulbs? The neutral might not be the main concern here. The real issue could be the fire hazard above the ceiling!

Robert Palmer

I have a feeling that the insulation is really fragile and should definitely not be used. It’s a serious fire risk and you’re responsible if something happens. It has to be repaired.

Paige Burke

This one

Emilie Thomsen

Not either of those… Just link it up as it’s part of a switch loop

Alejandra Villanueva

Better start running

Gregory Fleming

The one with the white substance on it

Celina Hall

I would assume it’s the one with white residue, but if you’re unsure, use a voltmeter. Place one probe on the metal casing and the other on a wire. If there’s a voltage, that’s your hot wire.

Leah Burton

O ahead and give it a lick

Mathis Li

Try doing a continuity test by holding one lead with one hand and the ground with the other. Keep repeating this step until you identify the hot wire.

Kayla Walters

Simply lick your fingers to discover it.

Ezra Turner

Ive it a touch and see for yourself

Kate Wood

Try hitting the one in the center.

Valerie Rose

Try touching it with your tongue to determine the positive one

Kelly Willis

If you have a non-contact tester, that works too.

Perry Gordon

The neutral wire is hidden inside the box

Thomas Little

You should use a meter for this.
