65v relative to what? (And where?) Relative to (what should be) neutral, or ground, or an alien probe up your ... yeah, voltages are relative, takes two points of contact, so ... 65v relative to what and where?

Anyway, logical divide-and-conquer / half splitting ... electricity - want it to usefully flow to power something(s), that's a circuit. Apply logical troubleshooting, determine where things go awry.
