When repeated, ["Is this thing on?"] (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tap

(Other definitions for tap that I've seen before include "Exploit; strike" , "Stopper enabling withdrawal of liquid" , "In America, it's a spigot" , "milk" , "Flow controller; knock" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
