I have a Harbor Breeze ceiling fan in my daughters room. The fan works great, but the light does not. When I turn the light on, it comes on and then 2 seconds later it turns off. What do I need to do to fix this issue?

what kind of light bulb is in there? what is the fixtures recommended wattage and what wattage of bulb/bulbs do you have in there? is it a new fan or existing fan? if it was an existing fan did it just start happening? this is a pretty vague description i would need a little more info to help. could be a few things. – squinny Jan 7 at 2:54
Are you tripping a circuit or just the light is turning off? – Scribblemacher Jan 7 at 3:35
Could be a loose connection, like once the socket or wiring gets warmed up enough the heat expansion might warp something enough to break the circuit. – Darth Continent Jan 10 at 14:44
