In a receptacle/outlet in one of our bedrooms, you can wiggle the plug and the connection will go on and off. We've all experienced that, but what's unique (in my experience), is that when it goes off, the power to the overhead light, operated by a switch at the door, goes off, too.
What's the connection between these two, and what do I need to do to fix it? I opened the receptacle, and don't see anything obviously loose, though I'm inexperienced at electrical things. I did turn the power off before taking the receptacle out, though (do know that much!). Thanks.
