A small upstairs bathroom: Three circuits:

1)Ceiling Light, 48" long, two ballasts (replaced about two years ago). Light controlled from Switch on wall. The light is working.

2) Bathroom exhaust fan from sw. on wall, also working.

3) Bathroom outlet on wall adjacent to switch gang box. This outlet is dead all of the time. I've wrung out the wires coming into the switch pigtail and for the life of me, I cannot find the "Source" of the power from the lines coming into the pigtail. The outlet is an "End of Run" wired outlet so I should only see a 2w with ground circuit.

I give up, what am I missing? Could the outlet be an end run off of the overhead ballasts? Because I should then see the switch opening and closing if I hang an Ohm meter across the outlet. Zip, nada, nothing. Of course that would be true if I didn't install the ballasts properly, but I do not believe that there are any leads that are screwed up, I'll take the light apart and wring out the wires from there, that's a real PIA because the light is inside a culvert and real tough to get at. Any suggestions?
