These things have been a bit of a maintenance headache. Latest issue is the upper bulb "burnt out." The thing about this is it is kind of 50/50 on whether it is a bulb issue (have replaced plenty) or some issue with power to the bulb. I've had both issues, more than once. This time, the bulb was fine. The socket was not getting power.
This area is challenging because it is a fairly harsh environment. It just gets wet and dirty, constantly.
Removed the grill, bezel and sheet cover and, hey look, this is a massive junction. This is actually the after shot...
But the wires for the socket go mysteriously into the housing - like that blue wire. I fooled around with a multimeter for a while and eventually just cut them. I was sure something wouldn't work but no, the lower light still worked and the post lamp with 3 bulbs also still worked. No clue where those wires go or why electricity stopped flowing. But the fix was simple. I bought a new wet location socket and wired it into the existing hot/neutrals. Fixed.
I have found so many unexplainable or just plain weird junction situations like this over the years in this house. This is another one.
