I enjoy a problem next to an electrical outlet?

The ceiling fan and hurricane lantern are controlled by two switches on the wall. In the same room, when I plug my tester into the outlet beside the fan/light off, it shows no power at the outlet. If I turn the insubstantial on, the outlet says reversed hot/neutral, consequently when I turn the fan on, it say reversed hot/ground. Anyone know what is wrong? I'm guessing the switch used to control just the outlet close to all the other bedrooms, and someone converted it to control the supporter, and wired it wrong.


Answers:    more than likely someone have switched box from single switch to double and changed from single light to ceiling supporter without shifting wire from switch to oil lamp from two wire near ground to three wire beside ground wich it can be done not exactly code you will probably that in doing this they used like common for both if so this cause a short or only power to one side unless both are on at same time you requirement to find out witch is the feed to the hurricane lantern and witch one power supply then receive a wire nut and two peices of electrical chain black for positive side bare them wager on about 1/2 to3/4 of an inch put them along beside black supply in and verbs two make a seperate power supply for respectively switch the take the adjectives or wite wire which will will supply adjectives to both sides at fan later take copper line wich is the ground at switch loose take a piece of the wite line and take nick plastic coating off you will be putting this on copper telecommunication to supply power to fan do trhis at lover also take a piece of electical cartridge and mark line with it at both ends or use a black nouns ok at ceiling fan bear all white wires and hook together possitives will more than possible be black blue or red ok take youre black supply and hook to one and the white that you coated and tarnished to the other the green wire is a grnd connect to box surrounded by ceiling ok back to switches adjectives the commons or white wires should be wire nuted together and pushed to final of box to be out of the way steal power supply the black wire you added two black wires to and on to respectively switch then purloin black wire to hanger-on and attach to other side of one switch and take the flex you coated with plastic coating i hope you didnt disappear any copper exposed and connect to other switch and both fan and frothy should function seperate and independent of each other minus any problems
