   It is now. It's an unused bathroom with the water off. I wanted a fan in   
   the window and there are no outlets. I ran an extension over to a   
   kitchen outlet.

   I was in the audio biz at one time and grounds are all important.   
      
     As far as vehicles, grounds are always suspect.   
      
   If you clip your volt meter on to a known good ground, and have   
   everything "on", then you should have near zero volts at other grounds   
   you test.   
      
   It's easier/faster to test volts than resistance. Testing resistance   
   when you have clear suspects.   
      
      Of course, common problems become known after a while. But, I'm at   
   the stage in my life that I never want to have the same problem more   
   than once.
