From a recently installed fused socket.
The socket has a switch which controls the lights under my kitchen cupboards.
It seemed ok untill a cat came in and peed on it about 3 months ago.
I let it dry out, before using it.
About a month ago I get not a shock like a belt, but I can feel current, probably equivalent to 12v when the socket is switched (on or off)
It is a chrome socket and it seems that the current comes from where it meets the plastic part containing the fuse.
The guy who did the install has returned and re-earthed the socket, but I have now just felt a current in my finger.
What could be causing this?
