Mark,

I am embarrassed to say that after posting that last message, I drove six blocks to one of my properties and was almost finished changing the outside light fixture when shorting the connexion occurred to me.

The switch is the problem. Looking at it, it appears to be an easy swap. The question is, are they and easy find? Anyone have the part number?

My multimeter is out of commission (will fix or replace tomorrow), so have yet to check the lines at the switch and the switch itself. What values (voltage) should I expect to find?
