Porch lights not working but outlets are working
Hello. I have an indoor porch that has two indoor lights ,two outdoor lights and two indoor outlets. Both of the outlets are working fine, but all four lights are not working at all. What could be the problem, and how do I fix it ? Thank you for any information !

Are all lights on the same switch? If so disconnect the two wires on the switch and connect them together with a wire nut. If the lights now work replace the switch.

Hi everyone. My apologies for responding late.
Yes, the lights are on the same switch, and they stopped functioning all at once. I am going to try to connect the wires with a nut, but what else could the problem be?

How many wires at the switch ?
You need to determine how the circuit is fed. More than likely power goes to the switch first. We have to guess..... you need to check.

Hey, so there are two switches that are side by side. One switch has two wires connected on each of sides, the other one (which is on the right), has one wire on its left and two wires on its right.
