What is wrong with my light switch?

Let’s first take a look at what your switch does. Your switch’s job is to make and break a complete circuit in the electrical wiring that is powering your light. A complete circuit is where the wires from the switch to the light and the power source are all connected with no interruptions. This is what allows power to flow to your light and you to control it from the wall. This means if the switch cannot open and close then it will not turn your lights off and on. The problem lies either in the switch’s mechanism or at the terminals where the switch is physically wired in. (Note: the problem could be somewhere else but for the sake of this article we are assuming the problem is in the switching and not anything else.)
