[left]I have a 240v outlet that was put in professionally a few months ago for my Tesla. On a few occasions, charging has failed and I can't determine the problem. I measured the voltages of the two legs to the 240v outlet. One was 131v and the other was 105v. Is this a problem, or does it not matter as long as it adds up to roughly 240v? I'm thinking this may be the issue that's causing my charging to fail.[/left]

We recently built a booth bench for the kitchen and wired an outlet through the bench. We discovered that the outlet we were replacing was a double outlet (but no switch controls the outlet) so we got a double outlet to replace it. We used new wire, connected it to the wires in the wall with nuts and electrical tape and connected the new outlet. Turned the breaker back on and the new outlet works, but some of the lights and outlets on that breaker don't work, but some do. Then there are other lights (in the living room), that we are pretty sure aren't on that breaker, that also don't work. Also, it's an old house and there's no ground wires in the wall, so when we spliced in the new wires, we connected one of the ground wires from the wire bundle to the metal wall outlet box and cut the other one off at the wire casing. We only have 3 GFIs in the house. None of them are in the kitchen. None of them were tripped, but I reset them all anyway, still nothing. We have novice DIY electricians, but we've replaced outlets before in the kitchen without a problem. I don't know all the terms and details, but I'll do my best to provide as much info as I can. P.S. The existing outlet that's not working is where I have a large fish tank plugged in so any urgent help would be very helpful! Thank you!
