Apologies for continuing this thread, but I have a question.

Decided to take the advice and connect all fixtures to the one feed I know to be working. Did so, and got the fixtures to flash once then go out. If I connect the one that has always been working, it works just fine. Connect the other two, flash and then out.

So then connecting the one I know works and only one of the other two at the same time. One works fine, the other does the flash and out.

Looking at the wire in the suspect fixture, the copper is no longer bright. It has turned dull and dark. In the second fixture, one wire is bright, the other turning dull. And the one that works, all wire is bright copper.

So here is the question, is this an issue of bad wire or has my ground problem somehow affected the wire to make it discolor. When connecting the problem fixture alone, I get the same issue of flash and out.

I don't know enough about the effects of a grounded circuit on wire.

Any help is appreciated. Hope I have explained that well enough
