Every light in the house should be working. You don’t want a potential home buyer to flip a switch and nothing happens. It sends a bad signal.

If a light isn’t working check the obvious. Is it plugged in? If the bulb isn’t working then change it.

When you have checked all the lights make note of the ones that aren’t. Are they grouped in one room or along one wall? It could be a circuit breaker issue and you can fix it by flipping a switch.

Try mixing and matching lamps and outlets to determine if the fault is in the lamp or the house’s electrical system. If it’s the outlet, mark it with some blue tape so you can remember where the issues are for later. Unless you have the skills to wire an outlet, leave it for a professional, there is plenty more you can do on your own.

Why does your garage light switch have 3 white 3 black wires 1 green and 1 red wire?

Does the red wire go where the switch is marked common?

Typically the white wire is "neutral" and colored wires are power. In a light switch, it depends on what the electrician wanted to do. Most use white for common and colored wires for travelers, but don't count on that. Switch legs often are wired a little differently, depending on the electrician. If an electrician is being nice to you he will often put colored tape on a wire to indicate what he is doing, but it's not required. If you have questions about the wiring, contact a qualified electrician to help with the problem.
