If this is the case, you will need to replace the halogen light transformer. ![]() Higher or lower readings may indicate a bad transformer. Typical output is about 12 volts and input is 120 volts. This requires plugging the lighting fixture in to measure the voltage. Using a VOM (Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter), you can measure the transformer output. Moving down the list of possible problems, the transformer is next after the wiring and socket have been taken care of or ruled out. Repairs to wiring can be done by using a soldering iron or a splicer to reconnect or improve the electrical connection in the fixture. If those are not readily visible, you can use a multimeter to test the wiring voltage and continuity, or flow, of electricity to the unit. Check for any broken, burnt, or loose wires. Once the base is removed, you will see the transformer, control switch, and the power cord. Some bases may also open similarly to a battery compartment. You can remove the base of the light fixture with a screwdriver to access the wiring compartment. Once socket problems have been ruled out, check the fixture’s wiring. If the socket was too corroded, you may need to replace the socket entirely. Replace the bulb and turn the fixture back on to check if your repairs have fixed the problem. If they need to be tightened, gently squeeze them together by using needle-nose pliers. Problems found with the socket can be fixed by gently scraping the electrical contacts until any corrosion or oxidation is removed and the shiny metal beneath is visible.Ĭheck that the socket attachments to the lamp are not loose. Step 2 - Repair the SocketĮven if you're not convinced the problem is connected to the socket, it is always good to clean it up and tighten the attachments as needed. Oils from your skin can cause the lamp to fail, so you will need to use gloves or a cloth to handle the bulb. Tip: When checking the bulb, do not handle it with your hands. Other problems include an overheated transformer, a broken or disconnected switch, or an electrical short in the wiring. The socket can be oxidized, corroded, or burned which can prevent an electrical connection with the bulb. ![]() If the halogen bulb is not the problem, consider the bulb socket. Several factors can cause a halogen light fixture to not function. Burns can happen quickly and can be severe, so make sure to unplug the fixture and allow it to cool prior to troubleshooting.
