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.

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...

I wouldn't want to climb in the attic either. I would open all devices in that circuit first.

The light switch controls the overhead light in the garage. Power feed comes from the crawl space (guessing here, cars have wiring diagrams houses do not damn it). I have checked the outlets in the kitchen and they are all working. I supposed I should check the three rooms closest to the garage before hitting up the attic. My master bed and bathroom and living room as well.

One other thing you can check before doing the attic crawl. Open the panel and test the breaker.

I flipped every single breaker I have. Not just eyeballed, but turned off and turned back on to make sure none were just a little popped. Insert sad smilie here.
