Agreed upon repairs not completed, escrowed closed and title recorded

How important is it to you to have a pool light (or lights)?
You might sent a letter to all potentially liable parties telling them that you can name them all in a suit totaling thousands of dollars plus your own legal costs, or….they could all contribute and come up with $1000 (or whatever), and you’ll go away.
I’ve done this sucessfully.

If the light you are referring to is 120V underwater pool light, then be careful how the faulty wiring is repaired. You are not allowed by California building code to splice the the electrical ground wire connecting the underwater pool light to the electrical breaker panel. You must have a single continous ground wire. Not sure how a kink would interuppt electrical flow, but if the ground wire is severed or broken you won’t be able to legally add on a piece of wire between the break point and the light. It’s not just splicing with your your standard twist on connectors that’s prohibited, you can’t solder or permanantly crimp the wire either. You would have to run a new continuous ground wire from the light to the breaker panel and that could be extremely difficult. That’s my understanding, confirm with a licensed electrician.
