    How to Troubleshoot a Ceiling Light in a closet?
    Ceiling light does not work. Both ceiling light fixture and light switch are good. How do you troubleshoot the power source?

    I would use the same tools you used to determine what you currently have.
    With no tools, I would try a known good bulb. Then momentarily jump the switch.
    With a Meter, you could verify power in and out of the switch, then at the fixture, maybe a wire came loose?
