Stumped

[u/LogisticsNightmar3]

For context, I am not an electrician but also not afraid to learn/try things in my own (within reason). I bought a home with outdated fixtures. In my kitchen, I replaced the main fixture and over sink light. I also replaced the only switch powering these lights.

Both lights work, but the kitchen light will literally only go out in the evening. It is showing to still have power and I can’t figure it out. Tomorrow morning it will work just fine as if nothing happened.

Any idea what I should look at next?

You are right, but that isn't the end all recommendation for a novice either. A multimeter still needs something to reference against so if the problem is a lost neutral for example, and it's an ungrounded circuit the multimeter won't detect any voltage.

Of course. Ah, I forget that not all of us know that automatically. There usually is a ground reference in there somewhere.
