4. when light switch is on (lights don't go on), sensors go off
5. Voltage tester shows 104 volts in all outlets in garage


what should I do (besides calling an electrician)?

Turn the circuit breaker(s) off, or pull the fuse(s).

the problem began soon after the first rains in 6 weeks

the power to the garage is underground conduit from the house, under
the yard to the garage.

Sounds like there's a leak in the conduit, and a break in the cable.
