If these are cross wired I would think I would be getting 120 on
both wires, right? I did test the voltage and had 120, but now
that I think about it I put the probes on both wires instead of
one on the wire and one to ground.

Exactly, and those two circuits might be on opposite legs of the 240v - -
your shop needs to be re-wired.

Screwed up wiring to the 3 fixtures. THey should be on one circuit or the
other, never both.

You may recall the previous post about a couple of my 8ft t12 fixtures
flickering and not lighting fully even with new bulbs and ballasts. So I
went down and bought 4 new 4 bulb 8ft t8 fixtures. I replaced the 2 that I
was having problems with and a 3rd that had a broken tombstone. 2 of the
fixtures light right up and put out plenty of light, the 3rd the original
one that has the worst of the problems lights up 1 of the 4 bulbs, a couple
others somewhat light up, and the 4th does not seem to light up at all, all
flicker badly. What is strange is that all 4 will fire up bright for about
half a second when the switch is first turned on the it goes back to not
working. What is also strange is there are 2 circuits and 2 sets of switch
for all lights in the shop. Most of the lights will turn on with one switch
or the other, but the 2 fixtures I replaced plus a 3rd t12 fixture that I
did not mess with but works fine seem to turn on regardless of which switch
is turned on. The 3 will stay lit until both switches are turned off. But
the fixture in question that is still giving the problems seems to lite
better with little to no flickering when one of the switches is turned
off. So what do you all think is going on here? It is driving me nuts.
The 4th fixture I will wire in and install above the work bench. I may end
up adding a couple more to get more light on one end of the shop.
