Hello,
My question has to do with one of my kitchen ceiling light fixtures. Let me start at the beginning. I went to work early one morning and I noticed that the light fixture in question did not work. I didn't notice that it burned out like lights usually would but I thought that I would wait to change it when I got home. When I did arrive, I saw my wife in the kitchen and the same light was working fine like nothing was wrong. After she was done with it she turned it off and after a couple of hours I went back into the kitchen and turned the light on and nothing happened. I waited until the next morning and tried it again and nothing. It is now the third day and nothing is happening. I went and replaced the bulb and it didn't looked or sounded burned out but that didn't solve the problem. I even went and changed the light switch and that didn't do anything either. So I guess my question is what else can I look for besides maybe some corrosion or missed contact with the blub and the socket. Would you think I would need to rewire something since my house was built in 1954 and the wiring at the switch level has some weird fabric over it? I just don't know what else to look for?
Thanks for your time,
Joe H.
