Hi, I live in a new house thats 4 years old since it was built, unfortunatly you coulkd only get them out to lookn at problems for 2 years and i am rubbish with diy / electrics
Basically we have a light outside our door which goes on automatically with a sensor, it recently went off and i have tried about 3 different bulbs in it, none will work, they have been tested in other sockets and light fine.
If you are close to the light you hear a little click when it comes on and you still hear that now if you leave the switch on but the light just won't come on.
I do actually own multimeters but aren't really up on how to use them so don't feel confident prodding in a live circuit lol
The other thing i read was could be corroded connection but now sure.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what i could do?
Thanks
James
