If it is a cable in the panel that has a ground but isn't connected it needs to be corrected. A cable connected in the panel but the ground not being complete to the receptacle the circuit needs to be repaired, a GFCI is not an acceptable alternative to repairing damage or fixing an incomplete or poorly installed splice. | |

But what if I find that it is GROUNDED at the service box? Leave the wiring as is and no sticker required? | |
