    no power on breaker

    All of the outlets, lights, fans etc on one breaker stopped working. I checked the breaker and it wasn't tripped, it's getting juice in fact they all are. So I assume I have a bad hot or neutral leg somewhere along the line. Is my next step to inspect each outlet and light box to check for a bad connection? Anyone have any other thoughts on the problem? THANKS!

    if you know how your circuits are wired go to the first box and so on checking connections. check each wirenut for tightness, if you are squeemish about working with a hot circuit shut off the breaker.

      Thanks, I'll assume that the light closest to the panel is first but in this house who knows. I'll also first check the light outside that is out as bugs etc may have gotten into the box.

      First the underground wiring for the pool pump went, then the A/C needed work, then had to rip out a shower wall to replace a leaking valve now this! can't wait to see what's next!!

        around what year was this house built? in the 65 & 70's they allowed buildings to be wired with aluminum and copper clad aluminum.
