Hi,
Got a plug socket that has never worked, it never really bothered because we put a wardrobe in front of it.
Now my daughter wants a game room so I decided to investigate further. Plug socket tester doesn’t light up meaning no live but my contactless voltage pen shows power. Removed the plug to find this (see pic).
I can see red (2 dirty reds I think) black and some bare wire I think maybe earth.
I’m confident I can wire it all up with out an issue, but if all goes wrong, how do I make it safe (so I can turn the electric back on) until I get a professional in.
The thing that connects the red wires looks like some kind of wire nut (seen them on YouTube)
Thanks,
Dan.
