In my house there is an octagon box attaced to which is a the type of light you pull with a string. It suddenly stopped working, so I removed the light completely and measured the voltage coming into the octagon box. Strange thing is that the voltage is 37 volts AC, rather than 110. What is likely the problem?
The wire coming into the box is the 14/2 type. No wires are exiting the box to goto another box. I have a good knowledge of AC circuts but this baffles me. Any ideas??
