First of all I apologize if this is too simple a question for this forum - I'm not an electrician but needed some help with a problem and Google led me here.

I recently purchased a house and am trying to work on getting one of the light fixtures replaced. My circuit breaker panel is terrible and almost nothing is marked. I needed to find out which circuit this light fixture is on and found the correct breaker - everything on that circuit powered off when I turned off the breaker.

I turned it on about 30 seconds later but nothing on that circuit is working again - it's as if the breaker is still off off.

Any idea what this might be? Is the breaker bad?

Thank in advance for any insight.

 

Disregard, I found the problem!

Understood. In this case my problem was caused by stupidity. My mind isn't is sharp as it used to be apparently and I got my breakers mixed up. There was no problem to begin with. Lesson learned.

Thank you for reading this and I find the information here valuable. I hope I won't need any help in the future!
