I'm probably a solid 7 when it comes to home DIY. I am having an electrical problem I've never encountered before.I moved a light switch on an existing circuit today and added a second fixture to the line. When I energized the circuit, the fixtures got current while the light switch is in the "off" position. When I flip the switch, it kicks the breaker.In the same room, I ran a new circuit on a 20A breaker. This line is powering two GFCIs, an overhead light, and a fan. Same deal. The home run goes to a (new) junction box, which breaks out to the GFCIs and the switches. Switches allow current to flow in the "off" position, but trip the breaker when switched on. The GFCIs work fine.I could expect a problem like this from the old wiring (laid in the 60's), my first thought was that something was grounding out. But when the new stuff did it, I'm totally stumped. I've installed dozens of light switches and have never seen one do this. What am I doing wrong? via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2kR4kWh
