Why do I have power but no light?
It’s not enough to just have power coming in, it has to be able to flow back out, too. It flows out on the neutral. You can use your meter to check for 120v. between the known hot wire and the related neutral. Since you’ve been accessing both the fixture and the switch, a neutral problem would most likely be in the connections there.
What should I do if my light switch won’t work?
You could also take the switch out of the circuit, touch the two wires together and see if the fixture works properly. If so, that tells you that the switch is still the issue. If it doesn’t work, but, you have power, the neutral may be the problem as suggested above. Be careful. Bob. Re: Power to the fixture, but no light.

Why does my jetted hot tub not work?
Check the water level. Some jetted tubs will not allow the jets to work unless there is sufficient water in the bathtub. Make sure the water level is above the jets as described in your user’s manual. Let clogged air out of the plumbing line and filter. If you recently drained your hot tub, you may have an air lock.
