It all started out with a client wanting 1 ceiling fan removed and a 1 new light hung in it's replacement reusing original wiring.
After discovering that the original ceiling fan was unswitched meant that a problem had risen and a solution was to be discovered by troubleshooting methods. Traced the wiring voltage back to the main breaker panel and a 120 volt 20 amp circurit breaker marked Garage . The plot thickens as the wiring in the box at the ceiling fan opening is only 14 2 NMB spliced solid to stranded for unknown reason? This meaning the 142 NMB wiring was over loaded, the plot thickens.
Having killed electrical power to the circurit breaker a tone generator was placed on the original wiring at the ceiling fan removal location. The path that this 14 2 NMB spliced solid to stranded for unknown reason was traced out and terminated in a octagon metal junction box on the garage area.
The wiring from the circurit breaker is 12 2 NMB and is run thru this conduit. Also the power to feed the 14 2 NMB ceiling fan is tapped off this junction and another 12 2 NMB is stubbed down from the attic into this junction?
Solution remove 14 2 NMB from junction box in garage to ceiling fan removal locations and refeed with new 14 2 NMB wiring from old fan opening and switched interiour light by front door making both lights come on together off the original switch and wiring.
