Wiring problem with range hood
I am having issues with range hood change in my mobile home. I shut off the breaker that controls my range hood along with my kitchen, bathroom, hall, and bedroom lights. When I removed the range hood, it had 2 sets of wires going to it, 1 for light and 1 for fan. The new hood only has 1 wire, so I turned breaker on to test both sets of wires. 1 tested dead and the other was live, so I connected the live wire to the range hood. I taped off the other wire really well, and set it aside. The new hood works, but now my bathroom light does not. Please help.

The wire that tested dead was likely the feed to the bathroom light, so I suggest you un-tape it and connect it to the hot wire along with the hood.
