Re: 4 volts on a 120v service?

Sounds like you've got an "open" between the upstream power source, and the switch. I'd suggest pulling upstream recepticles, and checking the connections.

GFCI could be suspect; or check for burned/loose terminals, espically "backstabs"

Work carefull, breaker off... Don't assume something's dead, until you test it.

Lazman - thanks. i will check that out, I haven't pulled that outlet out yet, but i was thinking about it. Will do that over the weekend.

And oohhhhhhh don't worry, I will NOT work with live power :P When I was a child, I grabbed my dads screwdriver and stuck it into the light socket in the garage. fortunately I had grabbed a wooden handled driver :P Been extremely cautious ever since!
