Has anyone had trouble with those switches that light up when off? I havent investigated or replaced it yet but one night i hit the wall and turned the light on and the other night was givin a shock from it
Put one in my 1st floor hallway about 3 years ago with no problems as of yet. I probably would have fully investigated after the first unusual instance.
Switches that light up when the load is off are generally put in series with the load (across the contact) and don't need to use a neutral or ground as a return path, so if this is the type of switch then its sounds like a problem with the switch having an internal connection problem and the strap is not grounded.
It was a shock there was a spark with it and tingling fingers. I plan to replace. Its in a moble home and the wiring has been a headace since moving in and been working to replace most devices and switch everything from the back stab connects to the screw termanils
