home electrical shenanigans
I just spent 3 hours deciphering a junction box with 4 NM (Romex) cables and a light fixture, AMA. Turns out:
1) There’s a second light fixture paralleled across this one.
2) There’s a switch leg on the neutral, which makes my eye twitch a little.
3) The remaining NM is feeding at least one box elsewhere.
That doesn’t seem that bad, but a) the switch leg means white != white, and b) wire nuts max out at 3 conductors so the fixture also acts as a terminal block.
