Sorry, I should have mentioned safety in my reply. Chris, I would tell you safety, safety, safety. Even experienced people can make a mistake or have a bad day. Dont mess with meter pan unless there is someone with experience with you, like a friend from work. If you are not comfortable doing something while trying to identify and learn from this problem, do not perform it. Think about what you are about to do and what you are doing when you do it. And last, make sure you have TPI (Two person intergrity) when working on or near energized equipment. You do not want to get hurt by yourself when no one is home.
