Okay so basically it would probably be that the one set goes in to the fixture and then it splits there and comes back to the switch ?

So behind the switch there is 2 incoming sets of wire, the one that goes to the lights, and the one that goes to the heater and fan. No breakers are flipped at all. Is there a way to follow the wire with no power back to the breaker ? (To check for a bad breaker possibly) or could I cap off the other set and use the wires from the lights to power everything if I replace the unit ?

Would the motor being bad explain the lack of voltage at the switch though ? Like it’s shorting in the motor or something ? It is very old fixture.

That makes so much sense. Ill try getting more of the fixture apart soon. I usually only work on 12v electrical and it seemed like something was shorted in line to me. Thank you for the advice.
