No, it's a red herring to the problem.




Don't get sidetracked.




A) Did you note carefully the actual connections before you disconnected


so that you can without fail put back the original as it was? Is there


any chance you dislodged a marked wire; that is removed a piece of black


tape that wasn't actually holding anything but there to mark a white


conductor used as neutral as is allowed on certain cases where there are


insufficient wires of the proper color in a standard romex cable? If


that is so there's a chance you have the feed hooked to the carrier.

ERRATUM: the above was intended to read "...used as _other than_

neutral..."

When I took off the connections on the one fixture, it was white on white, black on black, and ground on ground. I would have noticed if it was mixed. and I didn't even touch the other light.
I just don't understand how it could have worked and then all of sudden stop
