It's for my Holiday lights.
EDIT: Figured it out (Thanks JimE)... look to post 15 for the final answer.
I had a great idea... or so I thought.
I put up my lights but neither end would reach the plug which is in the middle of the lights.
The great idea was splice an old plug from the same type of lights into the middle of the string.
When I plugged it in... a few of the lights pop. The rest of the string on both sides light up but not the few on one side of my splice.
I'm no electrical engineer or engineer at all... so...
Why won't these lights light up? Each time I plug in a new light... they pop... but the lights downstream still light. Now I have a small pile of popped lights to admire.
I could ask my holiday light forum but I don't belong to a holiday light forum.
Next year I'll just use fire... that'll learn'em good!
What's going on? Do I need a flux capacitor or some blinking fluid?
