A while back the outdoor back light stopped working. The obvious thing

doesn't the outdoor light work? Suggestions, anyone?

Been there, done that.

Most lights are controlled by switches. If you've had any visitors,
somebody probably turned yours "off" by mistake.

A schematic diagram would be the best way to locate the switch. If you
know the model number of your house, you can buy a schematic from SAMS
Technical Publishing.
