Quoted from nighttaco:Also a dumb question, if I just touched the wire to the pin to the wire shouldn't the light string work? I guess I just don't understand the concept of the plastic being burnt to making the lights not come on.... Thanks for any help!
Yes it should light up the string. Really, if you touch and wire to any of those GI pins they should light. If it doesn't, it's probably a fuse blown. burnt GI connectors extremely common.
