The switch in the ground?

Do you mean the switch in the neutral?


I once rented a house that had *carpet* in the big kitchen/dining room
area. yeah, dumb. So I rented a carpet cleaner and was happily
cleaning the carpet... in my bare feet, of course. Was starting to get
a little warm and humid, so I opened the sliding glass door and turned
on the ceiling fan (on pull chain) POW! 120 up my right arm.

Pulled it down & found that the wiring had been apparently hooked up
completely randomly by whoever put it in... @#$%@#$!!! Fortunately
landlord was cool about me fixing stuff once he figured out I knew what
I was doing & wouldn't screw up his stuff.
