[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3823091, member: 44288"] If he has a meter, he can find out. Put the meter on continuity or OHMS. With the A/C power DISCONNECTED! BOTH WIRES! Touch one lead to the center of one light fixture then the center of the second. If your meter is on continuity, it will show "0.". and may beep continuously until the circuit is broken. If OHMS, it will show "0.3 to 0.4" or somewhere in that range. Now with the first lead still on the first fixture's center, check the third fixture's center. The readings should be the same. I would then do the same test on the metal sides where the threads are in the fixture. It should be the same readings. The third check would be just to make sure there are no shorts between the center and the sides Do all three checks and it will discount any crossed wires. [/QUOTE]
