What causes a light switch to stop working but light stays on?
A light that stays on when you flip the switch usually points to a failed switch stuck closed or a wiring/control issue. It can also happen with a miswired three-way, a smart switch set to always on, or a fixture fed by constant power. We troubleshoot switches, wiring, and breakers in Rockledge, Palm Bay, and nearby.
Quick checks:
- Try the other switch if it’s a three-way.
- Power cycle a smart switch in its app.
- If the switch is warm or sparking, stop and call a pro.
