I do have a DMM. It's how I got my voltage readings at the breakers. Initially I was checking all the switch boxes with what I call a non-contact voltage detector. I see you used the term proximity tester. I guess they sell them using both terms. In any event, even with the DMM I find no voltage...

My apology for the incorrect term used to describe what I'm seeing. I guess Romex is the term I should have used. There's four Romex entering the ceiling box. To answer a previous question:There is NO ceiling fan assembly with the ceiling light. To answer another question: It's a three...

I might add that the dryer works just fine. Been using it throughout this ordeal with the upstairs lights.

I have only one breaker that has a red wire coming from it screw. It's a 30 amp connected to another 30 amp (labeled 9 -11) by on/off handle. According to my records, the dryer outlet is on that breaker.

It's exactly as I described. The four wire conduit has a red, black, white and bare copper wire. The other three conduits have only a black, white and copper wires. All four blacks are tied together. All four whites are tied together. The four bare copper wires are loosely twisted together...

The two breakers in question are 15 amp. All of the major appliances are accounted for and their breakers.

I found the red wire in the bathroom ceiling light box. Let me make a corrections to an earlier post. There are 4 conduits in the bathroom ceiling box, not 3. One is a 4 wire conduit and the other 3 are 3 wires. The 4 black wire are tied together with a wire nut. The 4 whites are tied together...

I rechecked all the breakers and they all are reading between 122.7 to 123.3 volts at the box. My son and I spent the better part of a day checking every fixture, outlet, appliances, and switches to identify what was working or not. And what had power or not. We went one breaker at a time to...

I haven't tested any connections at the switches with a multimeter, only with a non contact voltage alert device to see if any wires were getting power. None of the switches box light up. The bathroom ceiling light seems to be were power enters from breaker. It has three 3 separate conduits of...

I should have mentioned that neither of my bathrooms have GFCI. House was built early 70s. I do plan on having them installed in the future.

Hello to all. Looking for some information to steer me down the right road to fixing my electrical issue. I'll try to be precise in describing it. One evening had three light fixtures stop working at approximately the same time. They were all on and went out. They are: hallway bathroom ceiling...
