In modern AC circuits there is 1 hot and 2 grounds, 1 is whit and one is green. The green is usually not insulated but they both go to the same bus in the breaker box.
The outdoor circuits in my hose are in conduit and are all individually/separately insulated from each other it's not like common Romex or BX wire
So just fo giggles I wired the 2 hots together and measured the resistance in the wire. There is a definite resistance in the wire as there are no connections other than the ends which a wired together.
another funny thing yesterday I was getting 34vAC in the bad line today 49vAC, maybe it will heal itself
i'm still very confused as to how something like this can happen out of the blue and also how it can change from day to day
