My wife turned on the wall switch and the pendant light over our dining room table went out. The fuse outside didn’t blow—none of them needed to be reset. I checked for power in the light’s hanging cord, but nothing. I pulled the wall switch to check for power and nothing there either. Thoughts?

    Took me days to figure out what was going on, because it didn’t occur to me that the outside GFCI would be protecting my kitchen lights.

    I hate that. Some genius was either too cheap or too lazy to wire it correctly and just tied it into an unrelated circuit.

      That is the only thing that makes sense. I may have to just check EVERY GFCI in the whole house. I wouldn’t put it past the builder to do something crazy with the wiring….
