Why is my light switch not getting power?
Circuit cable If item 8 proves that the switch isn’t getting power (and you’re sure it’s not due to a tripped or faulty breaker or blown fuse), you might have an interruption somewhere along the circuit path. It’s probably time to call an electrician. At least you can’t blame it on your reliable old fixture.
What happens when a light bulb does not work?
You just became a part of the live circuit! With the switch for the light closed, the voltage feeds through the filament of the light bulb, and (loads) the neutral, but with a broken connection, and no complete path, the light does not work. Any appliance or lamp plugged into the receptacle will not work either.
Why are the lights on my car not working?

What causes a fuse to blow in a short circuit?
A circuit overload can lead to short circuits and blown fuses due to the excessive amount of heat all the power creates at once. Like a short circuit, a ground fault occurs when a hot wire touches the grounding wire and blows the grounding fuse.
Why does my Fuse Box keep going off?
I checked the fuse box expecting to find that it had tripped but it has not. Tried turning it off and back on but no joy. Any ideas? All the lights are on one circuit and the live and neutral hop from one circuit to the next (loop in loop out).
How to check if a fuse is OK?
Start at the CU by checking all terminations then with a voltage indicator start at the fuse/MCB and check at all fittings on the affected circuit. MCB or previously loose connection somewhere between MCB and failed lamp now open circuit. if MCB is ok check continuity of L-L, N-N and E-E between CU and light fittings
