KeithD, if your post light is off, it could be the bulb, the light sensor, the GFCI outlet in the garage or the circuit breaker. NOTE: your house may have 2 to 4 GFCI outlets in the garage, and newer houses have GFCI breakers. If a breaker is tripped you MUST move the handle to the full OFF position and then to the ON position to reset the breaker. If either the GFCI outlet or breaker trip immediately after reset, you have a grounding problem in that circuit.
