Unfortunately there is no way to isolate the problem between a blown bulb or a
bad connection in the socket. Both will read as open circuit; a good bulb and
connection should read a few Ohms of resistance. (Cold bulb less than 5) Make
sure you have good, clean connection at the mast base.

I am no electrician, but I would think that (if it is a regular bulb) an ohm
meter check through the positive and negative wires should show connectivity
if the filament is not blown.

Subject: Stus-List Electrical Advice?
After steeping the mast, I hooked up the various lights (running, bow,
foredeck). Mast head light did not come on....my guess is a blown
bulb or the bulb connection could be bad.
I am no electrician but I do have a digital multimeter. Is there a
'test' with the multimeter that can suggest that it is a blown bulb or a
bad bulb connection?
A simple 'yes' answer will not suffice.....step by step explanation
would be helpful.
I ask this because getting the the top of my mast is a 3 person
task....one to up, one to grind and one to tail. If I know it is the
bulb, I can plan for a fix accordingly.
