Chandelier not working, fans are
My living room has two fans, and a chandelier with five lights on it in the middle. They're on the same switch. This morning I hit the switch and the fans turned on, but the chandelier turned on and then immediately switched off.
The chandelier has five CFL bulbs in it.
What should I do to fix this? Is it a bad bulb on the chandelier? The fans both still work fine.

I would start by checking to see if there is power reaching the chandelier. It's possible a connection has come loose or a wire has broken.

Ok. Took out all the lights, tried another light. Nothing. I'm guessing power is not getting to the chandelier. What should I do now?

Assuming the switch has two wires as a test turn off the breaker, connect the two wires with a wire nut, turn the breaker on. Does the chandelier now work? If so replace the switch. If the switch has more then to wires post back for further instructions.

The fans on either side which are on the same circuit are working. Wouldn't that mean the switch works if they're all on the same switch?
