Denray Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Light over sink. Sniff lights up when light on or off when touching metal above bulb. Lights up when light on and touching the pull chain. Light working off wall switch also. Whatcha think?

Marc Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Could be a shock hazard but it could be just a little capacitive coupling too, which is unlikely to shock enough to feel anything. Them sniffers are so sensitive, they can mislead. Carry a squiggy alongside the sniffer. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Never mind the stray voltage, who would install the sink off set below the fixture and the window? That's unacceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad, remember it's the left coast. It must be a "style" sort of thing..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denray Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 DW was left of sink. It's a small rental unit on the side of an old vicky. Click to Enlarge 40.26 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjr6550 Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 If it lights up with the wall switch off (I'm not sure if you meant that) then likely switch is on the neutral conductor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
