Lamplighter,
The problem is I can't find the homerun. The switch has no power on either side but that doesn't mean that the electical worker before didn't make the spice that feeds the switch in one of the outlet boxes. Thats why I checked all of the boxes on the circuit. He might have run the hot to the light first and then went out to the switch. I believe that the wires were eaten in two by a squirrel or rat I just can't see them because they run down to a part of the attic that I cannot get into. I'll try the continuity test the next time I go. Is there a particular circuit tracer that you recommend and what advantages do they have over a continuity test?
