Take the tour ×  Last weekend, my kitchen ceiling fixture
stopped working. It's a fluorescent fixture, and since the house
is about 20 years old, I figured that ballast had gone bad. I
went to the nearest home improvement store, grabbed a new one,
and installed it.  No light.  As I mentioned, the house is 20
years old, and I've had to replace the occasional light switch
and receptacle, so I thought that perhaps one of the two
switches that control the light had gone bad. So I replaced
them.  Still no light.  I next remembered that sometimes my GFCI
would trip and cause issues on non-GFCI circuits. I made sure
the GFCI outlets were working, reset it just in case.  Still no
lights.  I've now pulled the new fixture out, and using a
multitester, see I have essentially no current.  What could the
problem be?  share|improve this question Either the breaker has
