I have two separate light fixtures connected to the same two 3-way switches. One of the fixtures ceased to operate and there is no power to it, however, the other still works. Any suggestions?

On a three way lighting circuit, the power goes to the first switch, then goes to the second switch by way of "travelers", then the power goes out of the second switch to the light fixtures. Turn the power off, then inspect each fixture and make sure they are connected properly.

Thanks for the reply..... however, I figured it out. I tested my continuity probe and found it defective. After replacing it, I found there was power to the fixture. I replaced the ballast and problem was solved. Many thanks, though, for your concern and reply.
