I Have been having issue with the fluorescent light in my kitchen. The old light was a 4 light T12 that had two bulbs go out and then eventually they all were very dark. Changing bulbs did not help so we replaced the fixture instead of messing with the ballast. Put in a new 4 bulb T8 and it worked great at first. After a month or so it seemed the light was not a bright as before, and then after about 5 months the light would not always turn on. We could flip the switch and it would not come on, and then like 30 minutes later we would hear and electrical crackle and it would come on sometimes. Once it was on it would stay on fine until we flipped the switch off, then same issues. After a month more it would never come on and we installed a new ballast. Still no joy. There are three wires coming out of the ceiling. Green, Yellow and White. Green is attached to ground on the fixture. Using a meter, I read 120V from Yellow to Ground. I read 0V from White to ground. And then, I also read 0V from Yellow to White. I am guessing this means a problem with neutral. I've tried wiggling all the sockets in the area hoping i would identify a lose neutral. I even replaced a gfci socket on the outside of my house that wasn't working, but it turns out that was the end of the loop and had no load coming off it. Outlet works now, but light in kitchen not still not working. I'm stumped, any ideas? I am assuming that reading 0V across the yellow and white wires is my problem. If it is, I am clueless on what to do next. I have a switch box with 4 switches and 4 white wires connected with a wire nut. This is one of the switch panels that control the light. I took that nut off and looked at the wires...they looked secure and put the nut back on. Still no joy, One other note, the fixture in on 2 three way switches. I am reading 120V from Yellow to Ground(green) in the ceiling when the switches on the wall match up. Thanks

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum and hope you can help. I just installed a harbor breeze crosswinds ceiling fan with light fixture and remote. I am replacing track lighting that was on the ceiling. The track lighting was connected to a dimmer switch. After I finished installing the ceiling fan everything worked correctly however it was making a strange humming sound and the lights didn't seem to be fully lighting up. After some research I found that the dimmer switch I was using was not one that was compatible with the fan. I purchased a new switch and then realized I didn't have the correct wiring for a 3 Way switch for a fan. Instead I just used a normal rocker switch and got everything hooked up the and the lights on the fan came on however now the remote no longer works. This means I can also not get the fan to spin, chains dont work either. I tried wiring the fan directly to power bypassing the switch completely however the lights turn on yet the remote and the fan do not work. I tried hooking it back up to the old dimmer and everything worked fine including the remote and the fan. Is there anything that I haven't done already they can help me figure out how to get this to without the old dimmer switch so I can get rid of it and just use either a rocker switch or wired directly to power? Thanks for any of the help I hope I explained this correctly and I can upload any pictures or more information if you need it.
