I have had a breaker go bad. I have had a wire burn out where a previous owner did electrical work but did not know what he was doing. (He put in #16 wire for a new outlet for an air conditioner and tied it into an existing circuit!) I have also had light switches and light sockets go bad. I have replaced wall sockets. It could be any number of problems. Get your tester and go to work. If you can't find it, call an electrician.

What are the four features required to construct a working simple circuit?
power source, wire, switch, end fixture. Simplest circuit would be a power source and a heating element. No wire or switch needed.
How do you install a doorbell with four wires both having black and red wires?
It depends on what the wires are connected to and where the power supply is located. If the switch is lighted power has to get to the switch for the light. With a lighted switch you have a hot supply side, a neutral and then the wire going to the bell. So if Black 1 and Red 1 are supply voltage you would connect Red 1 to the hot side of switch, Black 1 would go to common as would Black 2. Red 2 would go to Bell side of the switch.
What alteration would occur if a single pole switch is reconnected to become a master switch?
If a single pole switch is wired to be a master switch, the switch would have to be in the on position for any other control devices to operate. Turning the master switch off would eliminate power to all devices (and/or loads) which it was serving. For example, some homes have a switch to control their outside light. If the outside light has a photo eye (the light will only come on at night), the switch is the master switch. Another example would be the breakers in an electrical panel. Each breaker would be the "master switch" for the circuit it protects. The main breaker in the panel would be the "master switch" for the entire home.
Is it normal for tester to show hot on a light switch with it in the off position and no power going to the light it controls?
Yes. Even with no power to the light, there is still power to the switch. To power off the switch you usually need to open a circuit breaker.

Why would the system power on when the power switch in the back is flipped but does not boot until the front power button is pushed?
The switch on the back is the switch for the power supply only. The computer boots from the main power switch on the front. This particular method of switching was introduced with the ATX power supplies.
Why is there no power to your fuel pump fuse 1984 Chevy Celebrity?
I would expect that the power for the fuel pump would be supplied through the ignition switch so I would start there, that is check the ignition switch.
Why is there 120 volts at switched circuit at all times?
There has to be, that is why a switch was installed to stop it,but it must be hot before the switch or there would be no power to do what it was intended for. If you are talking there is power after the switch at all times, the switch is bad and needs to be replaced.

What is a logic control power switch?
Sounds like a switch that would only provide power if a condition is met, i.e a lamp timer. I'm not positive though.
How do you get the automatic windows to work on a 2002 Impala The switch will buzz but there is no power going to the other switches or to the motors?
The drivers side switch is the master switch; all power goes thru this switch. Pop it out and test for power; you may just have a bad connection at the switch. I would also check the window lock switch and bypass it to make sure that is not the problem.
How do you repair your Lincoln mark vii sunroof it just stopped working?
Check all your fuses first Then I would check for power at switch with a test light With key on you should have power on one side of switch .If you have power going in next step is to check with switch activated you should have power out . If you have power in and out of switch chances are motor is bad but you should check for power at motor also.Hope this helps.

It didn't. There is a problem somewhere.
