[Shop-talk] electrical issue better defined

"Ok, just out of curiosity, is there any chance that one of these switches
is (or was) a three-way or four-way switch? "

No. It is a simple on/off like the one for the dining room fixture. We've been
in this place for about eight years and never had any issues with this
circuit. Until now anyway.

Ok, so now more weirdness.....


I've not had time to check into the connection to the fan and the run from
it.

I told the family to leave that switch turned off until I have time.


Well, yesterday my wife had a bridal shower her and someone turned that
switch

on. (it is right next to the dining room switch so must have been an

accident.) Anyway, when we got home last night, the porch light was working.
I

had her turn it off since I am overly paranoid already and I don't want to

take any chances with a fire.


So now what the heck?


even more confused now...
