OK, I was installing a new light fixture in the bathroom which I am renovating. I have installed a new headliner and was attempting to position the new light fixture in a similar location to the previous light.
The mounting pattern is different, the first screw went in fine the second screw caught the aluminum beam, So I moved the fixture over approximately 2 inches to clear the beam. First screw went in fine, second screw almost in and the hall way light that I had on for additional lighting went out.
The 12 V lighting in the front main lounge works fine, however, all 12 V lighting from the bath module back to the rear lounge no longer works.
The outdoor light at the entrance and the switch that controls the floor lighting which is in the same 2 gang panel, is not getting power. I checked the fuses and all appears fine, I think I may have hit a 12 V wire that feeds the fixture in the bathroom with the screw.
I removed the headliner in the bathroom and could not see any obvious signs of damage to the wiring.
What do I do at this point to get power back to the lights?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike
