Electrical Question about: Troubleshooting

Received from Buster a Homeowner in Dallas, Tx

Question: I have 2 wall plugs and 1 closet light that works intermittently. There is no apparent/obvious reason. They are closely connected and all work or do not work at same time. I checked to see if all were connected well and proper. I think so. They do not work at present, but at any time the may come on and work for weeks.
