7 volts AC current in 110 lines with house breakers off
Just purchased a 2008 View and noticed no power at the galley, entertainment in cabinet outlet, and exterior receptacles.
Eventually, I tracked it down to a loose wire in a connector box behind the kitchen cabinets which contains 3 wires bring power in and distributing it out to the counter receptacle, to the exterior gfci receptacle, and then onto the entertainment receptacle.
I did notice that a few of these wire had been replaced with new romex which tells me someone has been chasing electrical problems in the past.
While working on the lines with the breaker off to the circuit I was working on I was get a bit of a shock, not like a full 110, but noticeable. In one case I grounded the hot wire which sparked and blew the 15 amp gfci protected circuit I am connected to in my garage.
In checking I found it to be between 6.5 and 8 volts. Shutting all the rv house breakers off, but still plugged into shore power I still got the same readings. Unplugged from shore power it goes away.
Is this normal? I read about power leaking between parallel lines, but it it this much? If this is a problem where should I begin looking?
