Got a good multi-meter? Can you test for continuity, if so with what? A test light won't be good enough. A ballast is basically a transformer, but there are many, many types. Can you find a wiring schematic for it? Could be on a cover or just loose in the case. Yes, you can trouble-shoot the components if you have a good grasp of basic electricity. If it's 115V, start at the plug and start tracing out the circuit...it should be a fairly simple circuit. Also look carefully at ALL connections for burning or overheating (discoloration on the insulation or melting). I find as many electrical problems with my eyes as with my meters. Lemme know, I may be able to help you trouble shoot it.
Oh, I guess I should ask...is it running thru a timer and have you ck'd around that? Stoners and electricity.. :icon506: ..the only reason I can do it, is I learned it hi 30 yrs ago...LOL

man I do get to ramblin when buzzed..... :wtf:
