Plot twist. I had the wrong breaker. I used a breaker finder and it was confident, only a single breaker beeped. I went over the entire panel multiple times and it always beeped on the same breaker.

I figured it out because after that last test I turned the breaker back off, walked back over to my meter and it still showed voltage.

I guess I'm back to step find the problem breaker. I had that false positive issue with the breaker finder before and the cause was the circuit being on a subpanel.

I'm done for now. More on this developing story tomorrow.

First step, the panel. Took a torque screwdriver through the panel tightening every ground and neutral with a wire on it.

I know you think you have a calibrated arm, YOU DO NOT. It is a wonder this is my only problem. I'm going to change shoes and do the hot wires later after what I just saw. I probably should have worn my insulated boots for the entire panel now that I think about it.

All tight now including confirming the specific ground for the faulty circuit. Tested, still voltage on ground at the outlet where I found the problem.

I guess that means I'll be opening up outlets and light fixtures. Yay
