I am replacing a dining room light fixture. The fixture comes on when I turn the breaker on but the wall switch does not turn the fixture on or off. Help.
You have some stuff wired wrong. Call your local certified electrician.
It could be one of two things. If you wired the light fixture yourself you used the wrong wire. Or the switch is broken.
Hi,
You probably mixed the wires in the box and tied the light fixture to the line instead of switch leg.
Call professional from your area it is simple fix.
Cheers
You must have made an incorrect connection within the light fixture.
You have bypassed the switch
when you removed the old fixture, you should have identified what wires were being used for what purpose. It is a common mistake that homeowners do. Call in a local electrician so it gets wired and hung properly so no one gets electrocuted.
It sounds like the switch is bad or could be a splice issue in the switch device box.
