Well, I'm moved into my new house now arty:
Only problem is that some electrician replaced every old outlet with a new one as well as light switches. Well in my new room, there's one outlet that was connected to a switch and still is with the new outlet, only problem is that after he switched the old outlets/switches with new ones, my switch no longer controls the outlet, the light (or outlet) stays on
The wires connected at the switch are black and red.
The wires at the outlet are black, red, and white (and ground as well) and the tab IS removed on the side the red and black is connected to (right side). White is connected on left side with the tab still there.
At the switch box, I disconnected the red wire from the switch and the light still turns on!!! (Of course I did this with the breaker off and then flipped it on to test what's going on.) I'm guessing somewhere along the way, the red wire is touching a black wire where it's no supposed to, but it was working before the electrician installed new outlets and switches maybe something is mislabeled/miscolored....:shrugs:
Of course my room is the only room having electrical problems
