If you pull the chain on a light fixture and nothing happens, it's probably time to change the pull-chain. Materials:
Pliers Wire nuts Phillips- and flat-head screwdrivers
- Turn off the power at the circuit-breaker box.
- Remove the fixture from the ceiling.
- Remove the wire nuts and pull the wires apart.
- Loosen the knurl holding the switch in place, and pull out the switch.
- Remove the knurl on the new switch and thread it through the hole in the fixture. Then tighten the knurl to hold the switch in place (figure A)
- Reattach the wires using wire nuts (figure B).
- Reinstall the fixture.
