[QUOTE="Vettenut, post: 331331, member: 7655"] Hey ! Thanks for sharing your expertise ! That 3 wire installed by a qualified electrician ? I doubt it ... basement was finished before my time . the pictures show both ends of that wire ... The 2 wire romex in the outlet box was going to the DW ... I told her we could re purpose it for a garbage disposal .... Shes not interested ... its ok less work for me I will just remove that wire ... it can be easily put back if the need arises These wires all bell together and I dont think there are any buried demon j-boxes that I dont have access to between these 2 points The black conductor goes to the 15 a breaker and only feeds that outlet ... I will install a gfci outlet there that will only be fed by that single breaker Your induced voltage theory makes perfect sense .... that can be the only explanation as that red wire isnt connected to anything I dont have a low impedance meter to confirm this but I will take your word for it;) Thanks again ... mabe if I ask the moderators real nice they will let me pay you in Vette Coins ?
