I recently went to a costumers house and fixed a problem circuit that kept tripping. Her upstairs bedroom circuits has 2 bedrooms, and a bath on a 15 amp circuit. There on 9 outlets, lights and a Gfci on this circuit. She said when most of the outlets are used it trips. I believe it is an Arc fault breaker.

Is the Best solution to wire a new Home Run in #12 romex, and figure out where the existed home run is hitting the first outlet? Jump the bathroom gfci to the downstairs bathroom gfci?

I would imagine re- running a wire across and upstairs ( panel is on first floor) is complicated.

Your profile states electrician, handyman. Your post is more handyman than electrician. Unless I have misjudged I am closing this post, as we don’t allow handyman/ DIY posts
