Had that in an upstairs toilet. No washbasin just the bog and the
light switch. Condensation was the problem. Tracking from the live

Hi Alan,

My wife was the problem on this one. The result was the same as your
condensation. I found out that when she cleaned the room she was wiping the
light switch with a wet cloth. The water was collecting inside the switch
and as you said resulting in tracking to live. When you operated the switch,
a film a water was wiped out on the under side of the switch and connected
your finger to llive.


We were getting it from condensation from the hot air coming fromt he
kitchen condensing on the east corner walls of the house. The
condensation was dripping at times. Lot of years ago though before
foam insulation. I put a better ventilator in the toilet which seemed
to alleviate the problem.
