Housing Electrical help

I am no electriction but after checking the breaker, maybe something like this to test $4 at Home depot.

meters AC and not DC right silly question especially as a fellow tech but you never know.

Wavy line not dashed. But yes I checked that after I got the reading. It has been known to happen.

Set on A or ma? also correct ~v setting as there are 2~ settings. usually when you read 1.2 the setting is incorrect.

You guys are killing me. Honest, I know how to run a DMM.





And now I have 1.9V for some reason. Between ground and the other three wires. Between the other wires I get nothing.

Is it just the garage that is dead? 1.9V hot to ground means you have a faulty hot wire somewhere. Turn off that breaker and start opening anything that is dead.

You asked.

Agreed. Which is why I am laughing. I just keep hoping someone will post up a solution that does not involve me climbing into the attic and digging through the insulation. I do not like crawling around in blown in insulation. But I am reasonably certain it is that or hire someone.

Like auto repair, sometimes it is easier to ask how much and how long vs doing it yourself. You might try bartering some sparky for it

True, and I know what I think when people do their own repairs on electrical. Nothing sticks in my mind quite as well as the guy who had AC issues and hard wired a home extension cord from the battery to the AC compressor clutch... Cut the heads off and spliced it right in...
