One more update before I goto bed - got the broken wire fixed. When
the light fixture is off I read current across both the hot/neutral
combo on switch one, third pole/neutral combo on switch one AND black/
neutral combo on switch two. third pole/neutral combo on switch 2
does not read when the light is off, nor does the unconnected black to
ground or neutral in switch 2.
