Low voltage at receptacle

[Phuztone]

I recently replaced some receptacles in my kitchen to upgrade the color. 4 of these are inline (wire goes from 1 receptacle to the next, then to the next, etc.) The voltage on the 1st 2 receptacles reads 110. But the last 2 read 19 volts. I removed the feed wire from the 3rd receptacle & checked the voltage on the wire. It also reads 19 volts.

All of these were working fine before I changed them. I reconnected them identically as the old receptacles were that were working fine.

Any idea what may be going on here??

so the problem is at the outgoing wires at the second receptical.

* Check the Neutral white wires at the 2nd receptacle for tightness.
* Check for a jumper between the two Neutral screws. Check for 120 volts where the neutral leaves the 2nd receptacle. If no 120 volts, then the jumper is missing or broken.
* Good luck… Adios… Jasper…
