post light sensor - replacement problem

homebound
11 years ago

I replaced a post light sensor from HD (westek w/ black, red, white) according to the diagram and it still does not work (can't get bulb on) yet I'm finding current at the socket. Maybe it's the socket, but I noticed something else: There's always current (110) at the socket whether the sensor is blacked out or not. Do these things switch the hot or the neutral to the socket?

So i don't yet know if the new sensor is bad, or it's the socket, or maybe there's an open neutral. Any ideas before I try again? Thanks. (bulb is good, btw)
