Yes. Spent too much time trying to fix an exterior light that had a
socket go bad. It was a corroded rivet that joined the wire to the
socket. Use a non-contact voltage tester and see if you still have
power to the socket. These things are great for a basic power check.
Sample: https://www.harborfreight.com/non-contact-voltage-tester-63919.html
Test for power to the socket with the bulb out, then to the light
junction box, then to the switch. Get the tester close and it will beep
if there is power.
Also check any GFCI breakers in the bathroom. The lights might be on a
tripped circuit.
