Badd- have you tried relamping the two tube fixture. if you have one bad lamp (and yes you can get a new one that is bad) it will do exactly what you are getting. If all three fixtures are 4' long take the two working lamps and swap them. If the two lamper still does not work, you probably have a bad ballast in it - Brennan
