Handyman have trouble wiring bathroom lights. Breaker keeps tripping
Light fixture has 4 bulbs. With a black and white wire. Coming from
The wall are two blacks and two whites. He connected all the blacks and all the whites and when he switch it on, it tripped?

Think I got it. What about the two wires black and white coming from the fixture

I think it is two sets a black and white coming from the switch. The other set of black and white are the feed wires.

First the wires that come from the light, the black one will connect to the upper brass screw on the switch then the black from your feed (hot line) also goes on the switch bottom brass screw then wire nut the two white wire together, then wire nut the grounds together too. Make sure to connect the ground in the light fixture to the ground on the wire going to the switch. That's it if it keeps tripping, triple check all connections.

Disconnect all wires. Check black and white from same cable with a volt meter. The pair that gives u 110 volt reading is the power cable.

The other cable from wall should be the switch cable.

Attach black from switch to black from power.

Attach white from switch to black from light. Mark the white from switch with black tape at both ends to show it is a hot wire.

Attach white from power to white from light.

Should be good to go.

2 sets of wires 4 in all. . Black from the switch to the black hot source wire. Attach white wire from switch to black hot. White switch wire is now hot
White source wire or (light wire) That last part I do not understand. White power to white light?

[creahands]

In your first post you had 6 wires.

2 from light,2 from switch, and 2 from power source. Is this correct?

I am a pain. It was two wires from wall switch, and two wire inside the wall connecting
To the light fixtures. One is Black and hot and the other white source wires.
The handyman added a extra outlet. Works okay. The lights turn off and on. But the outlet like for a an electric shaver, etc is always charged even with the wall switch turned off. I suspect
He didn't connect the outlet wire to the switch wire

Some place along the line we lost your problem.

Tell us how many wires are in the switch box.

How many wires are in box that light hooks to.

The new outlet in bathroom should be GFI.

There is no problem with outlet always being hot.

Everything is fine. Except the outlet is always hot, even when the switch is off. The fan
That is plugged into would continually be running. I did install a plug in tap outlet with a switch.
So you can turn off the fan. My wife doesn't want to hurt the handyman's feelings.
Personally I think it has something to do with the switch wire and the new outlet. Maybe should have been ganged together?
