front porch light not working?

Hi,

I checked the side porch light and it works fine. checked the front porch light and it does not work. switched the bulbs to see if it was a bulb issue and it still did not work. So what other things do it need to check. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Multimeter

A must have for all Scampers is a multimeter.

You need to test whether power is at the light with the multimeter and if not, test back to source to find out where it is interrupted. Sometimes, the outside fixtures get corroded which is why you need to test to see if power is still coming through the wires to the fixture.

I need to buy that multimeter. Did not see any corrosion. So the multimeter will  help me pin point it. Thanks Greg for the reminder. 

Scamping is fun!!
