Outlawing guns will not do much. They will just get them illegally.

It could be getting through the power...is the radio powered by cord? If so, is it on the same circuit as the fixtures? If not, it may be pretty difficult to get rid of the rfi. With tv antennas, I just make a braid breaker...but thats another frequency.

You can use the red wire or black wire for the returning switched power, not the white. The white can only be marked and used as a supply conductor. As defined in 200.7(C)(2) 200.7(C)(2) Where a cable assembly contains an insulated conductor for single pole, 3-way or 4-way switch loops and...

My understanding of section 200.7(C)(2) is that the white,gray, or marking of three continuous white stripes on a conductor, the conductor must be used for the supply, not the return. Using it as the supply means that it must be permanently marked with paint or other means. My image was...

This is one way you could do it...It might not work in your situation....

LOL, I should have had a camera with me, I was in South Dakota in a gas station...the wiring was really bad...like three sub panels in a probably 2x2 closet. No covers, wiring going into the box by not even passing through the kos.

Could be a cut off line...one time I found an "extra" ROMEX® in a box, I had to remove the box anyways because the bx was burned up. When I went into the attic I found a taped up ROMEX®. It was live.

One of those black and decker books said to mark the red wire as ground for an isolated ground circuit.

Please start a new thread. I also think that a bad connection burned up. But you should check for any other gfis on that circuit. Maybe you have a gfi breaker?

I think a bad connection has burned up, what you need to do is turn off power to that circuit and check each box starting from your panel. Hopefully there isn't a box in the crawl space or attic, or even in the walls.

You don't necessarily have to break up the walls, with enough patience and time, you may be able to fish and install new boxes.

The next idiot may tap off the service conductors, how am I suppose to prevent that? :D

I bet they wouldn't know what a screw driver is.

Attached or detached garage?

I found one. http://sunelec.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6_21&products_id=96
