nothing (plugged in) should work if the neutral is open. perhaps your
tester is bad.

i did some small add on wiring in my home and decided to check with the
plug in (3 light) tester to make sure it was done right...to my surprise it
told me i had an open neutral..so i disconnected the circuit and started
cking other outlets through out the home and every outlet came up open
neutral?? the house is only 12 years old...can this be possible?? how would
i begin to solve this problem?? thanks for all replies!!
