[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 514514, member: 6969"] Well simply it has to be a loose connection or a broken cable (screw or nail through it) First question has to be WHAT had you just done prior to it stopping working? If the answer really is nothing then most likely a loose connection as cables rarely spontaniously sever themselves, but if you have done anything involving screws or nails look very carefully at what you might have put a screw or nail through. You need to understand how your lights are wired, i.e. loop at light, loop at switch, or an older all in one big junction box somewhere, before you can make much sense of it. You also need to do some DEAD continuity tests, you don't even yet know if the problem is missing L or missing N (or both) [/QUOTE]
