Get A Delta Light Working

[fboggs1986]

Hey guys,
Anyone have any pointers on getting this style light working. I have replaced the bulb and brushed all the connections with steel wool but it still won't work. Any suggestions?

Check to see that you're getting power from the source to the actual light? Could be something as simple as crap wire, loose connection, or even in need of a bit more cleaning. Few more photos if you please.

Thanks for the info. There is no wiring in this one just a metal switch on the side that makes the contact. I will try cleaning it some more.

Looks clean. Then again, I don't have it directly in front of me, either. Was it working fine before? My guess is going to be th wiring itself. Put everything back together and wiggle the poop out of it while the light is on and receiving power. If it kicks on you know you have a break somewhere. Also, if you have a test light, check and make sure it is or isn't getting power at the light itself.

Wiggle the wiring. Not the light itself. Lol

No wiring?! How does it receive power!?

Im an idiot. Check make sure no corroded batteries and battery holder is clean. That can kill and give no power. Forfot all about lights with internal power spurce.

Yeah I will try cleaning better. Here is another one same kind of light. The metal switch makes the connection.

most likely the switch is not making contact when it is in the closed position
somewhere there's a break in the loop
