I INSTALLED A NEW LOW VOLTAGE LIGHTING FIXTURE AND IT DOES NOT WORK. WHAT COULD BE WRONG?
This can sometimes occur if the fixture was turned on before installing all of the lamps in the fixture. Try switching off power to the fixture for five seconds and then switching the fixture back on. The transformers have a short-circuit protection feature that will not allow the transformer to supply power to the fixture until the electrical short is removed. Turn off power to the fixture and look for any possible shorts. Inspect the wires coming into and out of the transformer to make sure there are no nicks in the wire insulation as a result of wires being pinched inside part of the fixture. Closely inspect the fixture for possible shorts. Check your wiring connections again. Switch the power to the fixture back on to see if this solves the problem. There is another simple test method for the transformer described in question #12.
