Somebody posted a step by step in this thread that if you follow , you cant go wrong.
Something is touching somewhere in the walls or wiring somewhere..... :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: fuck man i thought we had it. my bad man but now we KNOW that breaker is good.

its going to be something with your outside lights or whatever you set up...... but if all that is unhooked that should not affect anything here.....

He may have cooked a wire in the wall and got lucky no fire and now a dead short

this is exactly what happened , i just wish i could point him in the right direction. Like i said , someone posted a step by step to rule out things one at a time..... if you have the time its well worth it , specially knowing you can cut off the power outside and work on whatever yuo want safely.

I have seen where a motor can have a dead short and trip breakers but OP says everything is unplugged
I wonder if something like a dowstairs frig or freezer is on this circuit , very strange

If there was ever a time for OP to learn from "some dudes on the internet" now would be it. Illegal state, unfriendly sparkys etc.

He's getting to the point of having to call an electrician, but to not do a little investigating on your own is just silly and a waste of money.

Okay I got it. When I turned on main I guess when that breaker tripped it threw the stove too. All good now.

I think mice fucked me. I definitely have a few....
