Troubleshooting Electrical Circuit Problems?

In order to replace a ceiling fan light fixture with a standard, small light fixture, I flipped the circuit breaker to the upstairs bedrooms to off, as to prevent electrical shock. When I did this, all three bedrooms upstairs had no power from just switching this one switch off.

Once I got the new light fixture in place in the room, I flipped the circuit breaker back to on, but power only came back into one of the three bedrooms upstairs. Now, the outlets and lights in both of the other two rooms are not working, one of which is the room that I changed the light fixture in. Any ideas of how this is possible or what the issue is?

If this is the problem, you'll need to check your wiring and make sure you have the wires in place correctly. A lot of lighting circuits use a continuous loop and if the loop is broken the power won't flow to the other outlets or light in the loop.

Somehow all the rooms are on the same circuit. One of the wires is not connected properly
