A couple days ago, I got called to a friend's
house to troubleshoot a four outlet wall
socket, which wasn't operating plug in devices.
My three bulb tester said B-N was barely there,
neon bulb was flickering. B-G was not powered,
and of course N had no power, so N-G was show
no neon bulb light.

New socket (recently put in) with orange 14 ga
romex. Circuit panel was fairly new, and this
circuit was supplied with new orange 14-2 Romex.
I think I found the problem. Anyone want to guess
what it was?

I'm going back to work on it in a couple days,
will post follow up.

BTW, I'm not being racist when I say that N had
no power, and N-G is open.

Orange is 10 ga
Not always. There is still no mandated standard for cable sheath
colours.
