I am trying to figure out a dimmer switch at my mother's house.

I can't find any voltage at the light fixture, which is strange
because it used to work.
The fixture is gone, just wires for now.

The house is 56 years old.

There aren't any tripped breakers and other outlets in the room have
current.

Any ideas of what to check next?

Maybe the dimmer feeding the light is bad. Remove the dimmer and connect the
wires together, then see if you have power at the light

"Remove the dimmer and connect the wires together"

Oh boy...why do I picture this going very badly?
