: This might be what I need to do. I don't know about a signal tracer

: haven't come into contact with anything like that to date.
In the early 90's I bought a wire tracer "pen". It ran on a single AAA
battery, looked like a rectangular laser pointer, had a metal tip. I bought
mine at All Electronics for a few bucks, Radio Shack had them as well for
more.
I found I could sweep a wall and locate a "hot" wire behind sheetrock,
plaster, et cetera. I would press the button, then "sweep" the tip across a
wall and watch for a red LED on it to illuminate. When it did, I could
sweep more slowly to narrow down the inch or so it would light, then make a
faint pencil line. I would then connect the dots, so to speak, to have a
map of the wire behind the wall!
