Light switch wiring to an outlet is known a "J" wiring. The outlet itself may have to be replaced if the jumper has been cut to only allow one socket to be controlled by the switch. Since you are going to run a new line to that outlet any way, switch the outlet out and put in a GFI outlet or even a box that will hold two outlets and do two home runs to the fuse panel. Since your going to be pulling wire anyway, might as well pull two independent lines. |
