Weird electrical problem AC
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?

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?

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 .
