How to Test a Wall Socket

Now we're going to talk about plugs or reciprocals in homes. Now, it's kind of hard to be working with a belt on when you're sitting down this close to the ground so I always put it off to the side. Anyway, and you grab your trustee, flathead. Take off the cover. Now before you do anything before you go any further make sure the plug is off. I'm going to put this in there and gives me a little light here, which means there's power coming to it. So I know this isn't off. I'll go turn off the breaker, we'll break and come back and I'll tell you how to replace this plug.
