Electrical mystery
Today I had a mechanic come to me to do some wheel bearing work. Put the slides in and all was well. When he finished, I went to put one of the slides out and it's no go. Fortunately I had a mechanic handy, and he checked the switch and discovered there is no power to the switch. Using a jumper from another switch that had power, we were able to move the slide. So, obviously no power from fuse panel to switch. Fuses all good. Wire from switch disappears into the wall and somehow makes its way to the fuse panel along with all the other wires in the switch panel. No signs of mice, or any particular reason to think a screw pierced the wire somewhere along the line, but I guess it is possible.
Trying to trace the wire would probably require removing cabinets, cutting holes, etc. to try and find the problem.
The mechanic pigtailed power to the switch so all is working. Guess I will never know unless I start tearing things apart, unless someone has any ideas....!
