Hi everyone.
I won't bore you with my tale of woe but due to a problem I have had to remove a kitchen ceiling light fitting (temporarily). It has 2 wires, connected with a block to the supply.
Now when I switch the lights on, one of the other lights doesn’t come on. There are 3 lights in a row, if the removed one is 3, 1 lights but 2 doesn’t. I’ve checked by swapping the bulbs between 2 & 3 but still the same. Could it be a continuity problem?
The setup is as it was when we bought the house so I don’t know what’s what or where above the plaster board ceiling.

I suspect a wire as worked loose somewhere. You'll have to look at all three fittings and see where it is.

Tell us what cables, and what wires you have emerging from them, and where they go to at the light you removed.
