[sdiy] very ot...home wiring / grounding???

[Dean Stiglitz]

hey all,

helping my brother in law troubleshoot some electrical problems.

yesterday when testing an electrical problem (no bathroom light or fan), both conductors on the light were "hot", and 2 of the 3 conductors on the fan were hot as well (i didn't have a meter handy, but had a neon light electrical tester).  i thought there was a wiring problem, and was prepared to re-wire today.

today, all seems to be as it should...one hot wire for the light, one for the fan...nothing else has changed.

since we have had quite a bit of rain recently, it seems to me it is likely something weird with a ground fault interupt and the wet weather...anyone have any ideas?
