Yes..... Started by shutting off power to bathroom. Come to find out the original eletrician who did initial electrical when home was built, tied all 3 bathrooms on same circuit.... And bathrooms are on 2 floor levels. What a maroon !

Needless to say, when I cut the power to the bathroom in question, the others go 'dark' ! Come to think of it, thought I heard my wife yelling from downstiars bathroom... Oppppppppps !

Don't have a 'tester' here, to test circuit. However, before I pulled things apart I had power to the old light fixture and now don't with new fixture.

It's possible that the new light fixture may be faulty, but highly unlikely.
Haven't tried reconnecting old fixture, but that would prove this theory, if new fixture is faulty. Maybe my next step ?

Thanks!
