    It doesn't trip the breaker?
    Are we talking about GFCI receptacles?
    Do the instructions explain what the "light" indicates?

    Doing electrical work without a voltage tester leads to guessing.

    You need to check voltage at variois points, beginning with the circuit breaker, and follow it to the device that is not operating.

    Otherwise, you are just changing parts with no idea of what is defective.
