Another electrical question

It is very difficult to distinguish the line/load on this connection. First, you need to know which lines are hot and which ones are not. You have two separate black, white, and green wire leads coming from each conduit. Check to see if either or both are hot by connecting your meter to the black and white wires. Your whites being the neutral; you will need to remove the jumper to do this with the switches in the off position. Also, I would check the red and a white to verify if it is hot or cold. If one lead is cold and the other is hot, then the wire nut connecting the two whites is good. I think this was mentioned, but you should have a pig tail from the green at the wire nut to the bottom connections on the switches.


This is completely a guess since I am not there doing the testing, but I would think that the conduit on the right is the hot line. If the right switch is turned on, the jumper supplies power to the black wire on the left and provides power to one of the sets of lights. If the left switch is turned on, the red wire is made hot and provides power to the other sets of lights. If the switches are good, your break is farther down the line. However, I would test this by doing what I suggested above.

The line and load wires have been identified, the black on the left is hot, red goes to the light that doesn't work, black on right goes to the spa that does work.
