Newbie Lighting Question

I'm sorry that I can't help with your problem. Trust me --- you don't want to be taking any kind of electrical advice from me!! Not unless you want curly hair (at the very least!)

The part of your post about being a DIY guy because of the size of your pocket book --- we can all relate to that. That is one of the great things about the Pool Forum. Everybody helping each other out which will usually save a lot of money!

Just wanted to pop in here and say hi and welcome to the forum. Sit tight. Someone who can help you will be along shortly I am sure!

Well my saga continues. Here is where it is now for those interested.
I chipped away & removed the niche. It was indeed plastered into place. I got it all apart to the point where I have deduced that it is the actual socket itself. I am going to kepp taking that apart to see if I can replace that. If not, I guess I am going to have to throw in the towel.
Thanks-
Dave

Bumping this up to see if someone can give Dave some help.

I opened up the fixture, wire brushed the contacts, & volia, it works.
Now the fun part of putting it back in.

Now, aren't you glad you decide against throwing in the towel? Glad you got it working. Get it back in and then ...... go swim!!
