    Electrical hot tub problem---help!
    Does anyone know how I can find out what the code is for wiring a hot tub in Reno, Nevada? I have an electrician taking advantage of the fact I don't know this stuff & I really need help.

    According to the NEC the only thing it really refers to is the fact that it needs to be properly grounded, properly sized for ampereage and that it needs to be ground faulted to equpiment use (Usually meaning a dead front GFCI or a GFCI breaker listed for equpiment use. But I would go with steve for going down to town hall and talk with the wiring inspector with the info on the hot tub and to see if Nevada has amendments to the code.

I have a 1987 GMC Sierra 1500 4X4 plow truck that will not start.  When you turn the key to start the interior light goes out and it will not start.  You have to let it sit for 24 before the interior light comes on again.  And the cycle goes on,  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Thank You.
