So there's a receptacle in this house, one wire going to it is cut and the other goes somewhere lol
I use my pen tester and it lights up, lights up on the box and the wires. I pull out my meter and I get 0 volts between everything. I get an extension cord and plug it into a receptacle in another room. I then meter out between the ground of the extension cord and the ground wire of this receptacle box and I get 2v. Thoughts?
