It’s been extremely west/damp

I’m thinking the outdoor light outlet combo that is inexplicably on the circuit is to blame but I’m not sure how to break a hardwired thing I never use from the circuit.

I will need a new ac ammeter to determine the true current, right now I can only meter OHMs which might drop with actual AC applied.

Jumping over the switched to the unswitched side of the ground faiult with everything off makes small sparks so definitely some current but from I can tell it’s well under an amp.
