Here's the problem. I have 2 3-way switches controlling a light. House is 3 yrs old,everything was fine until about a month ago. Customer complained that light would not turn off.
Went to check it and found the wiring arrangement to be correct,but upon taking the dead end 3 way out,I discovered that there was 120v between all three wires and ground.
Took both 3 ways out and also took the 3 wire out of the ckt.Ohmmeter says they're all in contact with each other somewhere.
My question is this,What could have happened to the cable to cause this? I did the work and remember running the cable myself. I'm always careful about stapleing,sharp edges,nail guarding etc. No work has been done in the house,or anything else done that would have come anywherenear the cable.
It worked for nearly 3 years. It's got me puzzled as to what happened.
