Hi folks!
new to the posting forum but was a lurker. I am hoping mind is simple and just not simple to me.
i have a solarium. Outside we’re 2 motion detector lights that didn’t work. One on the side, one on the front.
Inside the solarium are floor outlets. They used to work.
but, when I decided to replace the motion sensors, nothing works now.
there are only 2 wires that were in both Motion light boxes. One white, one blue.
currently, they are both capped off. Now I have no motion lights and no floor outlets.

what did I do wrong??
can anyone help? Electricians won’t come out in my neighborhood for something so small... hence DIY.
any help appreciated. I have multimeters, etc .

Rina it sounds to me like you didn’t hook up your black or white correctly. Inside the motion sensor yes there is a blue for the hot black and white is your neutral. Did you have to take the whole light down to change the motion sensors.
