Then check the wiring in the light fixture.

It must be shorted.



This seems bad advice for someone "not too keen working with electricity."

In the modern world, peace of mind costs hard cash, but employing a skilled

tradesman (if you can find one) is usually worth the price.









I told the guy elsewhere that the price of an electrician will be less

than that of a funeral.





This newsgroup is really for people who basically know how to do things

but are looking for tips on how to /best/ do things.

thanks again guys. unfortunately the original installer is not available anymore. he moved away. So I'll have to find a new electrician. Hopefully this doesn't set me back too much since all of the stuff is cut out and the wires are set up.
