Hi all. I need some help diagnosing a problem that has recently cropped up in my home. On occasion, I get a very light shock if I happen to touch one of the screws that holds the trim plate to the wall switch. Nothing has been touched with it in several years. There are (2) single pole switches in the box. One goes to outside porch lamps, the other goes to a wall outlet inside that a lamp plugs into. I checked the neutral to ground at the switch and I checked the ground at the wall outlet, my little neon tester indicates the ground is good. I have a multi meter, also if that will help me w/ the diag.. Is this just a defective switch or is there another issue? I don't see any loose connections or damaged wires at the switches but I did not pull them all the way out yet.The wires attach on the sides and are visible. Any knowledgeable help would be appreciated. Thanks............TSport
