How do you replace dining room light fixture?
If you don't know how to install light fixture, I don't recommend that you do it by yourself. The installation theory is actually very simple - all you need to do is attach fixture on the ceiling (or any other place) and then connect the electrical wires (usually there are two of them). After that it's good to put the light cover over the fixture to improve the appearance.
What can a buzzing sound coming from the ceiling in the hallway be?
Can you please login and edit this to say exactly what type of light fixture you have on your hall ceiling? That might help you to get an even better than the one below, which is very good considering how little information we were given... If the buzzing is coming from a light fixture, it could be that the light fixture has a BALLAST and some BALLASTs do hum somewhat, sometimes loudly when they go bad. If the noise is more like eggs frying on a pan, (with sizzling sounds) then you may have a dangerous electrical condition that could start a fire called an arc-fault.If this is the case, the power should be turned off right away and investigated by a licensed electrician.
When you connect earth wire in ceiling light does not work when connecting earth from light direct to earth wire coming from ceiling trips out when take earth wire out light works?
By earth wire I am assuming you mean the bare wire and that a black and white wire are connected to the light. If when you connect the earth wire and breaker trips then there is a short between black and earth. It could be a bad ground connection, an internal short in the light fixture where black wire "hot" is connected to metal on the fixture through a nick in wire.
How do you wire a ceiling light that doesnt have a black or white wire?
It will have 2 black or brown wires. Look very closely at the wires coming from the light. One of the wires will have ridges on it or may have a white line or some other method of identification. That wire is the neutral wire and connects to the white wire in the ceiling box. The smooth wire is the hot wire and connects to the black wire in the ceiling box.

Why is there a must smell coming from your bathroom plumbing?
There is NO SMELL in my bathroom as all my fixture traps are in place and all fixtures are individually vented and I installed a 4" vent terminal to prevent hoarfrost and the FAI is high enough above grade to allow for free circulation of air

You have an outside light that won't work but switch has power?
First and foremost make sure the light bulb is a good one. Try it in another fixture to make sure, even if it just came out of the box it was packed in. If you have checked the switch for power then you must have a tester. The power coming to the switch will most likely be on the top screw. Turn the switch on and see if you have voltage on the bottom screw. Check this voltage from the screws to the ground wire as the neutral will not be accessible in the back of the switch box. If there is voltage to the bottom screw then move on to the light fixture. Remove the outside light fixture and see if you get a voltage reading on the incoming hot (black ) wire. If there is voltage there then you have to see if the lamp holder is making continuity. If you have an ohm meter or a continuity meter remove the lamp fixture from the "hot" wire and the neutral connection and see if you get a reading across the fixtures black and white wire. This has to be tested with the bulb in the fixture. No continuity reading then there is trouble with the socket. Might be time to think about a new fixture.

I live in a townhouse and I recently noticed that my 2nd floor bathroom ceiling leaks. I assume it's coming from the roof but could the leak be caused by something else?
Coming in around a vent pipe possibly. There really shouldn't be anything else in the attic. All plumbing is in the wall.

If you are adding the pull chain to an existing fixture then the pull chain switch should have two wires. Wire nut either one to the hot wire coming in and the other to the black wire of the fixture.

Why isn't the dome light in my Chevy Equinox coming on when I unlock or open the door?
There is a switch located on the center light fixture on the ceiling above the rear seat. "ON" is on all the time. "OFF" is off all the time. "AUTO" works with the keyless entry, ignition switch and when the doors are open. (2005 equinox)
