| Dec 28, 2020 at 1:39 | comment | added | hcoverlambda | Yeah, so it turned out to be a hack as a result of an improperly installed wire nut on neutrals a few segments back and the neutral wasn't making contact.... They just tied ground to neutral after that point instead of troubleshooting it and fixing it properly... sigh ಠ_ಠ Thx for the feedback tho! Looks like we're good now. | |

| Dec 26, 2020 at 23:33 | comment | added | Alaska Man | I get the feeling that someone has erroneously tried to send the neutral from the switch to the outlet via the ground wire. A photo of the inside of the outlet box would help. I think BOTH boxes need to be addressed before the power is restored to the circuit. | |
