Larry.I used your jiggle method to find a loose wire in my closet.I have been without electr in my master bath and master bedrm for months.I've had ext cords running from the other room for a lamp, entrtnmt cntr and compuer.Just the other day in my walk in closet, I noticed that one light worked and one didn't.I loosened the fixture that worked and the other light came on.I turned off the breaker,removed the wire nuts,straightened the wires and tightened the nuts back on.Thank you so much.Brian
