1V on new circuit floating

Guys

Im running a new light switch for my celing fan. Before I hooked it up to the fan box, I checked voltage with switch on and that was fine, but when i switch the switch off, i get a voltage of around 1.6 Volts.

This is voltage taken between the hot and neutral lines with no load/nothing hooked to the lines.

Any idea what this might be?

too dark to trouble shoot now, so can do more in morning

thanks guys!

    What are you using to make the measurement?
