You did not mention how large the home is or how may circuits it might have.

I worded it that way because it might be possible that one leg, main fuse.
or breaker might be bad.



It looks to be just two circuits, one for the front half of the house and one
from the back. The fuse box has 4 spaces for screw type fuses and between those
two pull-out boxes with two large cylinder fuses in each. I swapped every one
of the fuses around without solving the problem. I mapped out which rooms were
effected when each fuse was removed. There was one fuse that didn't effect
anything, so I assumed that it was for the circuit in the lightless area. So I
removed that fuse and started to remove the light switch to the first problem
light. And got a tingle of electricity. I had to remove a different fuse to
get the power to that area to go off. So I found out two things-- that the fuse
isn't the problem because power reaches the kitchen which is on the same
circuit, and that the power does reach the light switch in the first room where
the light doesn't work. So whatever the problem is, it must be between the
switch and the first non-working light.


If only one light was out the problem could be from switch to light.
With more than the light out it sounds like an open neutral.
