Hi,

I replaced the transformer for a set of 3 under-counter halogen lights and now they work perfectly. However, when I changed the transformer for another of the exact same set of lights, the lights still don't work. I've tried 2 transformers and I've made sure that they are the right ones for the set, and I've tried the bulbs in the other working set and they are fine.

I checked the plug and there is a burn mark on one of the prongs, could the set have shorted and destroyed the plug?

Thank you.

(This is the type of lights I have)

Ben if it’s got burn marks yes something shorted out but I doubt it ruined it. It sounds like you crossed a wire or it was touching something. Be careful and good and welcome to the forum
