[QUOTE="Grey Master, post: 236806, member: 15023"] Tuesday I didn't want to be tracing a fault in a lighting circuit that I'd started last week. Bedroom floor up tracing cable runs, back down stairs to where I'd left a light fitting disconnected last week where the fault was traced up to. Now find I've got a dead short Neutral/Earth!!! That wasn't there last week! What's happened?! Scratch head, run around checking switches, other light fittings that were previously OK - nothing wrong! Starting to panic now, don't want to be here, nearly lunch, got to get the bedroom back together and still a dead short. Power back on to confirm the supply to the light again, dead short cable has supply on it. Worked it out yet? headbang [/QUOTE]
