...and also, what is "reversed polarity" ???

[Adria Haynes]

Guys,

I have an electrical issue with my bus. I need your help because
I'm no good with electricity. The only thing I have ever been able
to figure out about electricity in my 29 years is that it hurts when
I touch it. Every single time - some more than others. 110 hurts
to the elbow. As expected, 220 goes twice as far and hurts
to/through the shoulder. Both continue to hurt even after you are
able to let go. Again, as expected, 220 hurts twice as long after
as the 110 does. I don't recommend making a habit of touching
either.

Anyways,
On my '80, I noticed a few days ago that there were 2 red lights on
in the galley above the toaster. They were some kind of electrical
gauges and the red lights indicated that I had a "reversed ploarity"
condition. Could somebody please help me out with information about
this. I have a radio plugged into the same outlet as the bus that
never skipped a beat. It's actually a garage radio that I have left
on for about 2 years now. I only keep it plugged in to keep the
batteries up as they seem to love being dead if left alone. Nothing
else is ever run like AC or fridges.

Is there somethig wrong with my garage or is it with the bus? Is it
bad?

Please help if you can. I know I've been a pain in the ass lately
taking much and offering very little in return but I assure you all
that as soon as I can help anybody out I will be all over it.

Thanks again, (and again, and again,)

John
