Yeah, more or less. Cheap way of doing that, but you will find many switches wired in this manner.:huh:is it common practice to strip the middle of the wire to attach as the hot then go to the next to strip in the middle then go to the next and strip in the middle to get three switches power?
You need to check your wires compared to a known good ground. Maybe there is a receptacle on the wall near where you are working. Use that receptacle's ground for one probe of your meter. Check the wires with the other probe and see what you come up with.cant seem to find why I have no power or not that much. Breaker is good rewired all switches and still pulling small load. Not sure what the next step is....
