I'm in the middle of replacing the outlets in my house when I came across the following conundrum: it appears that the grounding wire was connected to the outlet and potentially snapped off when removing it from the wall.
However, when looking at the metal box receptacle, the grounding wire seems to have been clipped to the side.
Does this make the box grounded? Can I install the new outlet without the grounding wire, or do I have to remove the wire from the box and extend it with a cap?
