The wiring for the invisible fence was not run between the house and the lamp. The only place I can see where they might have cut the wire is where they came through the garage wall and buried their line. That's on the side of the garage where the light meter, cable and phone lines etc. are attached to the house. That might be where the lamp post wiring exits the house as well. I don't know that though.
I spoke with the honcho at the invisible fence company today and they're coming out next week to check their wiring. He said it's doubtful that the faulty light is their fault. He said that according to code the line from the house to the lamp post must be 18" deep. The trench for their line is only 3" deep.
It could be coincidence but the light worked Thursday night, they dug Friday and the light didn't work Friday night.
In any case, no biggie. We'll get it fixed. If it's not the I.F. company, warranty will take care of it.
Thanks for all the responses. I learned alot from reading your posts.
