Adjacent Room Lost Power After Installing New Switch?

Flag

I recently replaced a light for a chandalier and the switch for a dimmer switch. They both work fine and no breaker is being tripped. The problem is that the adjacent room, which is on the same circuit breaker, is not receiving any power now.

Also, I don't know if this is relevant, but there was no ground wire on the chandalier to attach, just negative/positive.

This is not a good place to get advice for such a problem. Try googling for solutions and looking for sites that may have actual, factual electrical advice. Or, perhaps you have a friend who is a home handyperson who can help you out. However, if I were you, I would call an electrician. If you did the work you attempted properly, there should not have been a problem.

If there is one, either you made an error OR there is a bigger problem with your wiring. Someone in the past has perhaps attempted home wiring and done it incorrectly. Your home could be in danger of catching fire from faulty wiring.
