    Tester shows volts but circuit won't light

    Thank you very much. I found that the resistance in the hot line was .7 or .8 but was up to 63 in the neutral line. By substituting the neutral the light comes on. It is not a wirenut so must be a break in the neutral line. I am still digging. I am still confused as to why it showed the 120...

    Tester shows volts but circuit won't light

    Sorry also what does it mean to test the bulbs for there cold resistance. They all work on the same light connection when pluged into the black wire and white wire holes of a three pin plug. All the bulbs work in another light socket also.

    Tester shows volts but circuit won't light

    This is all 120 volt no 12 volt involved. 10 years ago I connected these two wires to a three pin plug that is not grounded. I was sure to connect the line in black to the small side of the plug. The light worked for 10 years. There is another light on the circuit that works. From this light the...

    Tester shows volts but circuit won't light

    I have a two wire outside light connection that the tester shows has 122 volts. It lights the neon circuit tester also. When I connect a regular 15 or 40 volt light it will not light up. Obviously I tested to see that these work fine on a different circuit. I added a two pin plug to the circuit...
