Usually, yes. But I suggest you go back to more basic testing. Starting with, do you have a circuit tester or multi-meter? (If not, I suggest you stop now. Your first step should have been to use the tester to make sure the circuit was dead before working on it. If you know this already, apologies for being so basic)
Are you sure you are getting power from the circuit? I.e., if you test black and white wires, do you have current? You can also test the black to the ground which may tell you if there is a problem with the common (white) wire, or the ground.
Once you've established that the circuit is ok, then you are correct in looking for a grounding issue, or perhaps the light is faulty.
Does the fixture work if you plug it in somewhere else?
