Hey guys,
I just recently moved into a new house, and the yard has no light. I saw a tucked away 3-wire wire, with a switch, which i presumed was for an outside light. I checked it with my multi-meter and it read having nearly 13 amps, but almost no volts. I didn't know if that was good or bad. SO I bought a light, hooked it up, and yep... you guessed it... i got nada!
I checked the connection into the light with the multi-meter, and got the same reading: 13 amps, and a few mV. I'm trying to light a 12 amp bulb, so i presumed that should be enough. The fuse isn't tripping, i'm just not getting anything. Anyone any idea why?
Cheers!
