Hi,
After moving a light switch a few inches and reconnecting it I got a slight shock when I next switched it on, though it didn't trip the circuit breaker. I then discovered that whilst I had slipped out to the garage to turn on the supply, my wife had just wiped the (plastic) switch with damp cloth, so I assumed that this had caused the shock. However, to check that there was no leakage to earth, I removed the fuse and did a continuity test between live and earth. The meter didn't give a proper beep, but it did make a slight buzzing sound. Is this anything to worry about?
Thanks
