Question
i have a bed room that is not getting power. it has power going out of the breaker box but there is no power at all in the room. none of the power outlets or lights work in the room
Answer
Hi.
It sounds like a loose wire somewhere. These things can be hard to track down. Somewhere in the circuit, there is a break. It could even be at a device that is working, because it could be the wire leaving the working device that is not working.
Check all outlets, switches, and lights. Check the wire nuts, because the wire could look connected, but not be. Especially check any outlets and switches that have the wires pushed in the back rather than screwed to the sides, because sometimes these fail. You may want to get a circuit analyzer for under $10 at any home center which will narrow it down to the white or black wire.
I hope this helps.
Bob
