Well I installed a new GFCI as the very first receptical on a circuit
(added a new line cable from the panel, and the old line now becomes
the load coming out of the GFCI). My original questions and why I did
that can be found in this thread:

---------------

So:

It looks like I installed the GFCI properly - resetting it works and
the light on it comes on. Everything downstream on the circuit works
(recepticals, room lights, etc) EXCEPT for a hardwired hallway light.
Turning that light on trips the GFCI. I can reset the GFCI fine after
that, but it will trip again if the light is turned back on. The only
unique things I can _see_ about that light is thats a 3-way.

Any suggestions? Probably not since thers very little information here.
Ill need to troubleshoot this more tommorow.

Thanks.


It could be a problem with that hallway light fixture. I would remove it
and put a temporary pigtail socket in its place and go from there. I assume
the GFCI trips when the light is activated from either switch.
