It has to be a short in one of the wires unless it rubbed or separated up inside the one ceiling box I haven’t pulled the fixture to get to yet.

God knows why it randomly did this - I thought initially perhaps a switch went bad. 17 years in this place and I didn’t even know it was a 3-way until this happened - the switch by the garage doors was covered with shelves.

Beams are perpendicular to the wires so I’m not pulling a damn thing and NFW am I hacking drywall. If I have to run cable, this will need to be outside.

I can go and buy metal conduit or armored cable, but I’d rather use plastic since it’s cheap and so am I. I have a ton of Romex lying around. I’m still hoping for a short in that last ceiling box, but I’m not banking on it.
