I have checked the switch / junction box in basement where 14/2 changes to
an under ground cable, all that looks good with good connections. I am going
to drop the post from the loop and see if the outlet will hold the load, if
not then I will go to the junction box and see if I can put a load in there
and see if it holds. After that I think I will need to call an electrician.
The switches are new (dimmer).
