Spring Break, last week, the 12V bedroom ceiling lights went out. Fuse is good. Other lights on the same circuit work OK. There is no power to the wall switch. Can't find anything loose on the power panel or converter. I assume something shook loose, but electrical code should not allow any connections that are not located inside an electrical box. I can't guess how the wiring is routed inside the floor and/or walls. Any suggestions?
That is not a short...that is an open circuit, loose or corroded connection, most likely on the negative/ ground connection of the fixture
A short..is a short circuit..current flowing where it is not supposed to
This over heats wires, burns things up, blow fuses first if your lucky
