I discovered the blacklight fixture below my TRON CP was broken, so I went out to wal-mart and bought one of those $6 18 inch light fixtures to throw in there.
The new fixture only has a two prong plug, no ground wire. I cut the three prong plug off the old light fixture, and attempted to wire it up.
The three prong plug has the colors Green/Yellow, blue, and brown. I know green/yellow is ground. I assumed the blue was the hot wire because I traced it to a fuse, and brown was neutral. However when I connected blue to hot and brown to neutral on the new fixture and left the ground wire unhooked, I blew the fuse that controls all of the cabinet lights.
Do I have the hot and neutral wires backwards or am I missing something else, IE does the ground wire need to be wired in as well?
