This is for a house whenever a certain light switch goes on then off , the off part trips the breaker. We've disconnected all the plugins and other switches. Tried new switch, swap breakers... same result you can turn the breaker on everything comes on but soon as u turn the light switch off it kills the breaker.... Any ideas?

have you tryed changing the lifght fixture. or try turning the switch on and off with the light dissconnected

Yes we are trying to wire the light switch to activate the fan and they both power on but as soon as u turn the switch off the breaker jumps and kills everything.

Weirdest thing is it does this even with just the light hooked up with is only a 23w energy saver.

it sounds like the 'off' position is creating a short so your breaker trips. maybe it was the method of wiring/install causing it to trip in the off position?

try swapping out the light control switch too? maybe its old or defective causing the trip

[RenoMan]

when did it start happening? how many are running off same circuit? If theres existing lights already your fan maybe taking too much power. What kind of fan is it? Where are you running it ? .
remember black to black , white to white , ground wires together .

[mickz]

How many switches are controlling that one light and what type of switches are they?
