  • This is the problem with 2 pole testers you need a potential difference, there has been times I have thought something isolated the cpc terminal a bit too deep for GS38 probes, I always follow up with my non contact tester or my single pole tester.

    If your there to replace something think is the wiring a problem before you replace or dismantle
