Ugh... having a Corin morning here. Our bathroom light burned out last night. So this morning I replaced the light bulb, and started to replace the cover when it just quit again. Tried another new bulb, and that ain't it, so now it seems like a wiring problem. :(

Weird though, that it worked at first after replacing the bulb. I need a drink.

Ours did *something* like that...found out that we were putting too big a bulb in there or something...60 watt was the limit and we were putting in a 100 watt. It caused the wiring to overheat and do something...seperate or something...the bulb would blow and then the wiring would cool and work again, then do the same thing 'cause we'd put another 100 watt light bulb in. Eventually it quit working all together and we had to replace the little electrical connection in there.

Got it at Lowes...not too expensive. Guy at Lowes told us what we were doing wrong. Must be pretty common.
