To me it seems like you might have a disconnected neutral somewhere and you possibly have a multi wire branch circuit with a shared neutral. I would check the voltage across the first receptacle with it unplugged and see what you get. If you get 240 that would be indicative of the problem I just described. I believe both switches would have to be on in order for the lights to be on and either switch would turn them all off, if that is what you mean by “1 switch will control all lights”.
this is a good way to test what I was trying to explain. Lights plugged into one side of 3 outlets, but not the other side, both switches on. Be careful to use the same number of lights on each "side", or none on one side for testing, until you get this fixed. Six lights on one side and one on the other will burn out the one from high voltage. |
