How to get Christmas light fuses out

[@juliet.3287]

First video I picked to watch on replacing the fuses, perfect! Didn’t need to go anywhere else! Short, informative and to the point. Thank you!

[@Cldfsn0200]

Thanks a lot for this excellent demonstration. You're camera shot was perfect getting a micro shot. Your narration was simple and to the point. I had an issue trying to open the plastic with my screwdriver. I thought I was doing something wrong since I rarely if ever had to deal with this. But we have string of Fourth of July Lights (not Christmas ones this time around) on our patio that went. Hopefully its just the fuse. I hope I can find the spare ones (they are so darn tiny). If not I will be making a trip to Ace. Again you did an excellent job and I know its not easy getting a close up like that while working on it. I used to be a professional videographyer. Thanks again! Really appreciate you.

Thank you so much for this instruction. I have Christmas window candles, and I managed to knock one off of the sill the other night. I was afraid the bulb would break, but the bulb did not break. The electric candle's fall was broken by the arm of my wing chair, and then it fell to ground probably less than 2 ft. To my relief, the bulb did not break. Instead, it turned out the fuse blew, and boy did it blow! Caused a black mark on the slide out door where the fuse is located. Anyway, by the time I figured out there was a fuse in the plug which may be the problem (it then caused the lightbulb to blow out, too), I did not know how to change the fuse. I was so glad to find your video! I opened the slot on the plug, used a tiny flat screwdriver to pop out the fuse and discovered that it had broken in two! I used a needle nose pliers to pull out the half that was closest to the prongs and then eventually managed to put in the new fuse, and now the candle works again. I am still amazed this happened. It did not fall far at all, and the fall did not cause the light bulb to break either. I still cannot imagine what made the fuse blow. Very happy that I managed to replace the fuse, though, thanks to you. :)

Sir!!! You were SO on time on today🙌🏼🙌🏼 it was like you were reading my mind... you answered all my questions without me having to search further... and you have saved me money. THANK YOU. These simple instructions came in a clutch 💯👍🏽

[@tinaninanu2184]

thank you for zooming in and for all the great details.. I've thrown so many sets of lights away not knowing how to find these fuses... but now I know.. no more waste. many thanks!

[@lashelle6525]

Short and sweet, straight to the point. And it worked....Thanks 😊

[@suzispatz7976]

Thank you thank you thank you! I couldn’t find anyone to show exactly how to get the fuses out of the plug! Now we know.

[@jessicae360]

I was able to use a pair of tweezers very well too for this! Great for popping them out and then pulling them out all in one 😀 thanks for this video it help save money replacing fuses vs full new lights

[@decolbycapleton3207]

Thank you, thank you, thank you soooooooo much. 1 set of lights blew out about 5 or more sets that were connected and I was soooooo upset and devastated until I found your video and found out that it was only 1 fuse that was causing the problem.

[@jennawildah6514]

Thank you very much for posting. I fiddled with the bulbs (a midsection of the string is out), but when that didn't work I read to replace the fuse. Had no idea how to do this til you explained it. Easy! You're awesome! Merry Christmas☆

[@haileycrossing2835]

Thank you! I had to fix my grandmother's tree lights and we couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. Its a brand new tree and it wouldnt light up. This helped a ton!!

[@AmeliaRendo]

Best video for changing Christmas light fuses.

[@kenshowtosandreviews4320]

Thank you for the view!

[@floofymuffin]

SUPER HELPFUL!!! Thank you for this! I used a pair of tweezers to get them out.

[@bethhasilo1536]

Thanks so much. Our Tree went out on Boxing Day & I had intended to keep it up till mid- January at least. Lucky for us, the blown fuse was in the 1st strand closest to the outlet. Fixed in just a few minutes.

[@terrimcfarland4041]

Thank you, I couldn't figure out how to get the door open. Very informative video.

[@octaviogarcia8196]

Great job amigo!!! This is what I was looking for because half of the Christmas 🎄⛄ lights don't work. So now I'm going to replace the fuse . Happy holidays!!!

[@oscaryanez9934]

Life saver bro exactly like you said. It was butter. Thank you so much your video saved me $60

[@kenshowtosandreviews4320]

No problem 👍

[@BrodyMcCain]

You did a great job explaining and showing us exactly how it's done. Thank you.

[@annahgibbus8]

Thank you so much 🎄 Brand new lights I didn't even know there were fuses LoL & half the strand went right out after plugging them in🤬 I read the directions, found the fuse part, got it open, but was afraid I'd damage it trying to get the fuses out. Your video saved my Christmas & sanity. LoL Your instructions were easy & now the whole dang strand works! LoL 🎀🎄🎀😁👍

[@annahgibbus8]

Heads up people, I bought that strand of 100 lights on Amazon for $14.99. I then bought 4 strands of 100's & 3 strands of 50's at Dollar General all for less then $15.00!!! All 7 strands work Perfect!!! So if you want the tiny lights in all white or colors I highly recommend Dollar General & they come with fuses also in case I need em😁👍

[@blumoonrisn]

Yes! As others have said, many thanks for zooming and the details about the different ends!!!

[@Gottaluvbecky]

So I'm your newest #1fan. You rock dude. 100%!!! I've watched 4 tutorials all claiming to show me how to get the fuses out of my Christmas lights, which on a side note I purchased 3 yrs ago for about 2 bucks the day after Christmas. Only half the strand worked but hey... for 2 bucks, I'll take half a strand 😁but so for whatever reason while hanging them today I thought "hmmm, I wonder if maybe it's just the fuse or something???" So I decided to change them and see EXCEPT the little darn things wont come out. So I'm not ashamed to admit I don't know something and watch a tutorial so I can learn, but nobody's showing me how to get them out.... they say they will show me how to change them but then skip right over that part 😕👎until I ran across yours and decided to try one more, and in less than 2 minutes you said they have little clips on them.... See, that I did not know... So I did as you did except I used my metal nail file and SNAP! Them little sucker's popped right out, I slid 2 new ones in and plugged it nice and snug in an outlet... and would you believe.... Swear to God... The whole strand lit up!!!💡💡💡💡 3 yrs later on a $2 find after Christmas sale🤑 for 15 ft. of white twinkling lights and with the help of you and 2 new little fuses they will shine in all their glory this year!!! Tysm!!! You the man!!!👏👏👏😘🙏✌ Merry Christmas! Stay Well! God Bless! Chow~Chow

[@marinaschneider238]

Thanks saved me hours of putting up new lights.

[@jwgreen80]

Thanks for the video you just saved my Christmas and one less project knocked off my honey-do list!

[@ggia9784]

Thanks...this was very straight forward and I was able to do it with scissors. You rock!!!!

[@charscurry7742]

Super straight forward fix!!! Your video is tops and WORKS!!!

[@davidhill2677]

Nice simple, succinct demonstration, thank you.

[@darleneblake-murillo888]

Thank you thank you for creating this tutorial! I’m changing my fuses today. Even a five year old could understand this yay !!!!😀 🦋🥰

[@kenshowtosandreviews4320]

Thank you that means a lot! I want my videos to be quick and easy.

[@darleneblake-murillo888]

@@kenshowtosandreviews4320 yes 🙌 it was. Your video was empowering and I’ll save a lot of money and help our environment so yes God bless you and yours and Merry Christmas 🎁

[@vickieblaisdell7870]

Thank you, very much, I was thinking I had to open up the box close to the plug. Thank God I looked for videos first ! U R AWESOME !!!🎄🎁🙂

[@lewisburgdance]

I wish I had seen this before I tried replacing fuses. I ended up getting one of them jammed up near the plug end and realized it when the slider wouldn’t close. Any suggestions?

[@simonbhatty7659]

Thanks for taking the time to explain! Love your videos! :)

[@hotelgulf]

Helpful. Thanks! Merry Christmas.🎁🎄

[@thesliverqueen]

omg thank you so much you don’t know how long i was trying to get those damn things out

[@chrisindia]

Thank you. Your video is very clear.

[@smakcanada]

Thank you, worked like a charm!

[@elizabethmormile6227]

You are awesome!!! Merry Christmas!! God Bless

[@jpcatapano]

Thank you! Finally had to replace some fuses. Happy decorating.

[@Quiltycrazy]

No problem getting them out or in. Thanks for the video, very helpful.

[@suzannepino5676]

Good good simple instructions. Thank you

[@kenshowtosandreviews4320]

Glad it was helpful!

[@macksterp4112]

Great video but I'm still having a hard te prying the fuse out. I have a small flathead but the fuse doesn't seem to retract for me to have enough room to wedge it out. Update.. I got it!! Thanks so much for saving me some money! I almost three all my lights out!

[@jerrythecoo3295]

Yeah I got one section in the middle and I wondered if it was a bulb til I came across those fuses………. Wasn’t sure where they went in……..👀☺️😁😝🤣 Thanks for the demonstration…..👀😎👍🤘🍻 #Justputtingitoutthere

[@user-on4zt6hg5y]

Thank you was so helpful 🙏🙏🙏

[@greggshaw284]

Awesome video! Had no idea! could have saved thousands over the last 15 yrs

[@perc3675]

who else is here because your mom told you put the Christmas tree up

[@AlyIns838]

I’m a wife trying to make her husband happy but I got a bunch of light out on the tree 😂

[@jammywins123lol7]

OMG exact same scenario LMFAO

[@tia_parris]

Me 🧎🏽‍♀️

[@shenshoon8333]

🤣😅

[@edithmesser3846]

Thank you for your help. I replaced the fuse with no problem. 😉

[@cathyrackowski8320]

Thank Kenneth! Now this is a help. I appreciate the heads up to this new video. Needle nose pliers make a huge difference those suckers are hard to take out. I wonder if tweezers wouldn't work also? I had all the tools just couldn't get that first one out. I pulled out all of the extra Christmas tree lights I had and realized I had a windfall of fuses, I'm all set. Again, thank you.

[@spaceedementia]

I can't get one of them back in... keeps popping out at me like a Mexican jumping bean. I'm getting extremely frustrated 😒

[@slewmayhew9515]

Thank you for helping me with this yearly nightmare!

Great video! Thank you!!!

[@TOMMYHAWK77]

Thank You! Merry Christmas!!

[@rowanmulvey8632]

This was very helpful, thanks

[@Irondiesel]

You can also use duct tape or grey tape as lots of people call it. Just use a small piece and push it on to the fuse and pull quickly. Out comes the fuse.

[@AlyIns838]

Thanks man, I have some lights out in my tree and I found an extra fuse and I had no idea how to get it out.

[@jennylong83]

That was easy! Took me two minutes. Gracias!!

[@riotboi81]

Helpful review and good to know stuff! 📱😺👍

[@LuckSpinner]

Thank you Kenneth! This seemed way scarier then it was. My old Coca- ~Cola lights wouldn't turn on anymore. Cheers! =)

[@supremecreme2661]

thank u so much worked for me 😄

[@frankversace2058]

Awesome video. Thanks. Wish me luck. I’m plugging these back in with new fuses soon. Why oh why do these mini lights not work…so often. Seems they either burn out lights or fuses go. Cheap I guess. Or designed in failure. 😂

[@etdna]

Excellent. Many thanks.

[@kellyhochthanner2059]

thank you...this was very helpful

[@BLOODYANGEL21.PrincesaAlicee21]

This helped me out a lot I thought my money went to waist

[@amberelibrennan]

Thank you for this video sir! 😊👍🏼

[@nancyg7051]

This was a great description but what happens when new fuses don’t help? Just have to trash the lights?

[@sarahsun4074]

Nicely done,learned

[@happydeedee1765]

Dearest Mr. Byrd, Thank you, thank you, thank you sir for saving me a trip (back) to Hobby Lobby.😔 Picture this: Got all my new holiday decor shopping done! YIPPEE, right? (Well not so much)🤔 Got up early today...Big mug of pumpkin spice tea in hand...Christmas music playin' on a loop (via KZbin, of course)😉 Now it's time to open the new Xmas lights! YAY for me, right? Hold up, wait a minute! Not so fast Dee!🤣 - 1st box of lights: One half of the string does not light. Ok, no biggy, right?😉 - 2nd box of lights: OK! YAY!😃 - 3rd box: OK! GREAT!😃 - 4th, 5th, box: OK! ALRIGHT NOW...WE'RE ON A ROLL!😃 - 6th & final box of lights: Half of the string??? You guess right Mr. Byrd...🗣BIG FAT DUD!👎 So I thought: Hmmm, before I break-up my happy holiday vibe, with another trip to the store...Let me check out KZbin. Hoo-ray!...And like a miracle...Tah-dah, I found your fabulous channel kind sir! Have a beautiful & very blessed holiday season Mr. Byrd! Peace friend, DD. 💡💡💡💡💡💡💡❤

[@arletpumarino8129]

Buen día muchas gracias estaba a punto de tirar la serie d luces pero gracias a ti pude arreglarla felicidades por tu video bendiciones 🙏

[@nikkisalazar6726]

Thank you!!! I fixed all my lights so my husband didn't have to buy more. XOXOXO

[@nayelitrinidadcruz1198]

Muchísimas gracias!!!!!!! Súper sencilla la explicación

[@meplayingroblox7394]

Simple question! I live in tx. Where can I find em?

[@annahgibbus8]

Amazon

[@Sp1dyvr]

Thanks so much very helpful!

[@donnaphelps5608]

So helpful! Thank you.

[@Smileychild22]

Thanks for this!! So helpful

[@innaOleinik]

one of the fuses went inside the plug toward the wires -- is there a way to get it out or take apart the plug?

[@keh-dalia809]

AHHHHH The university of KZbin. I love KZbin for that!

[@stephaniehowell3484]

That was awesome. Thank you. 🌟

[@jamesmay3599]

Thank you so much for your video. One tip please turn your camera sideways easier to see what you're doing. MERRY CHRISTMAS

[@alibonita92]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@junebullockjackson7096]

Wow thanks was trying toothpicks everything thanks got it

[@simplyput5615]

THANK YOU!!! ♡

[@ramonaandersen938]

THANKS EXCELLENT Just about thru $20 dollars of lights I never used away

[@tahliaroot5892]

okay idk if this is just me, but where it says open, it has 2 bumps that prevent the slider from coming out??

[@Basskingdom7]

My question is, how do you put them in? Mine doesn’t snap in like yours? Its not even snug, if falls out. Any suggestions?

[@garymoyer4807]

Good video.. thanks for posting:)

[@emmanuelmeyermeyer1083]

Thanks for the video, but what about round plugs with a fuse. I can't figure out how to open the plug. It is from a nativity piece.

[@jeanettevaldez6128]

Yyaaayyy I did it!! 🎉🎉🎉 all by myself 😂

[@lakecomo9721]

thank you !!

[@HeatherRoach818]

Thank you! Pesky little fuses!!!

[@kenshowtosandreviews4320]

You bet!

[@eileentortella1431]

Have not tried this yet but very descriptive. Film at 11:00

[@jacquelynking2184]

What if you replace the fuses and the lights still don't work. What could it be? All the bulbs seem secure.

[@stacyleigh2132]

Thanks for this video! You're a cutie! 🙃💕👍 helped me out immensely...thank God for KZbin....

[@haileymonet4017]

Omg he is 😂🤚🏼💕💕❤️😂

[@kevintroy4329]

Lol! Do u know if the fuses are like batteries with a positive and negative side?

[@kenshowtosandreviews4320]

They are not, they can be place in either way.

[@alexdroman]

Also a screw or a nail works if you cant find your little screwdrivers

[@donnicewilliams7334]

Awesome thank you

[@hellestinebeamon1717]

How do you test the fuse?

[@anthonyrizzo4484]

Appreciate it

[@karengallousforever2015]

So what if there's only sections of my tree that won't light up? Does that have anything to do with the fuse? Or just the light bulbs?

[@Godofslikks]

Im 42 years old and only thought you had to change the bulb not knowing that there was a fuse as well. Smh.. Thanks

[@jr-vq6vj]

Well for some reason, I can't get my door closed. It's seems strange, two silver metal ends are deep in the wire side. Perhaps someone had placed a smaller fuse set and closed the door pushing them deep inside. Very strange. I saw how the door closes easily. I bet that somehow a smaller fuse set was pushed 8n before. This is very deep and out of sight until the door closes but does not slide under

[@flygirl18_40]

What happens if you change the fuses and the lights still don't work??? Need help

[@adanbaldonado]

Sunce the fuze didn’t fix the lights i tried the hit it til it works and some of them work now at a certain angle.

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

I love handyman and tactical people!! That’s hot!
