Actually just acting weird.

I have a flourescent light fixture in a closet that has started faintly glowing intermittently when turned off. When that happens a 3 way flourescent ceiling light in another room won't turn on - just give me a teaser blip and then goes back off. When the closet light is not glowing the 3 way works just fine and the closet light works fine.

The 3 way and the closet light are not on the same circuit. I used a circuit tester to check all the outlets and I found another circuit that has the hot and neutral reversed. That outlet is dedicated and has only the washer on it plus a small humidifier and a 12V transformer that charges a small appliance.

Question is will Georgia beat Alabama for the SEC Championship? HAHA just kidding...

One other thing all 3 are on the same side of the 220 electrical main.

What is going on here? I suspect that somehow current is leaking back into the neutral on that side of the main but I have no idea where unless it's in the dedicated washer outlet????

Sherlock D'Voltaire what do you say?
