Hi, I'm hoping to get a bit of advice on an open neutral problem I'm having in my house. Below is a short summary of the issue: [list] [*]Was painting my master bedroom and updating the outlets from the dreary almond color to newer white ones. [*]House was built in 1986. Wiring is okay, but not done super well. Many outlets have multiple hots & neutrals inserted in the back clips of the old outlets instead of pig tailed together and screwed in. [*]After replacing the last outlet in the bedroom and going to test them, I found I was not getting power to any of the outlets in the room. Used an outlet tester and found I was having an open neutral problem. [*]Worked on attempting to trace the problem and what was going on. After a few days of working on it off and on, I started trying to trace the full circuit. Initially I thought the circuit only covered the master bedroom, but found that 2 outlets and 1 switch in the bedroom next to the master was on the same circuit. [*]Found the outlet closest to the circuit breaker on the circuit, and used the outlet tester and it is working fine. Next in line downstream is a light switch that is connected to the second outlet in the other bedroom. At that point is where the open neutral is showing. [*]I have replaced the first outlet on the circuit with a newer one, I have the 3 hots screwed in, took the 3 neutrals and pig tailed them together and have it screwed in, and is grounded. Still getting an open neutral on the switch and 2nd outlet in the other room. [/list] What could the issue be? Is it possible the neutral wire is bad? That seems unlikely. What is odd, is all I was doing was replacing the outlets in the master bedroom, but somehow the open neutral has come up in the room next to the master even though I had done nothing in that room at all. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

So I'm not proud of this, normally I'd snap a photo but anyway my pool pump has a crack in it and it's leaking bad so I took it apart to use a fiberglass repair kit to fix the small crack from inside and out. Anyway I ended up thinking "It's 3 wires, and Green is easy I can remember where black and white go..." Well an hour later my brain didn't remember and felt the fool :) I have black / white / green and 3 connectors L1, L2 and Green. Searching the web for the manual just gets me parts orders, looking at other posts I can find some saying White to L2, Black to L1 and the reverse so I have no idea. Here is the photo, L1 is the the connector with Black on it(Nearest the Green screw) and L2 is the other. Because it's electrical I didn't want to just say "Hey L1 has black on it must be for the black wire"
