My Mother in laws' house still has the old 2 prong plugs and most of them are worn, where a plug wants to just fall back out, she still has the old fuse boxes , with the round screw in fuses....lol.... it's still dated as inspected in 1954... True stuff!
I bought a whole box of new plugs to replace several of them , An electrician , I am NOT ... I changed one of them, and it's working, but there isn't a ground wire anywhere inside of the plug to connect to the ground on the plug, only a white and black wire.... Can I run a ground wire to the metal box that holds the plugs ? or will new grounds need to be run somewhere else ?
The plug that I replaced works fine now, but , I know that the ground isn't any good to us like that ....
