You have just installed a 12-volt lighting system. You know that all the wiring from the transformer to the end of each bulb is in good order, but none of the bulbs light. What is the most logical step to check for the solution?

Check the wiring from the transformer to the GFCI, Check the voltage drop from the transformer, Assume that the transformer is defective and replace it - None of the above - Keep in mind that this question is asking you to pick the BEST answer out of the choices given. D. Answer C is close, but it is not worded exactly correctly. While the transformer is likely to be defective, you cannot simply assume it is defective. First check that the fuses or circuit breakers are intact. Then check the 12-volt output leads the transformer. If the output is insufficient, then it's time to replace the transformer.
