No power at the pole

I do a lot of work in Charleston, which you know, is just a skosh bigger than Huntington. Here "high-rise" is a term used to describe the bigger signs by the interstate...not high-rise buildings. LOL

EZ fella.... I wasnt blaming you, just finding the humor in the irony and relating a story where I was in a similarly ironic situation. Being in a forum sometimes the subtle inflections of communication get lost.

I am an laser engraver,ada, banner & vinyl (former computer) guy... not an electrican... no idea what the laws are here in az. I won't even take the face off a monument sign to re-vinyl it for fear of busting something. I make the customer remove it!

I love fixing those high-rise signs that you open a door and walk in - it's very surreal being on 'solid ground' 110' in the air

Answering orig post..

Yes, have them call an electrician.

IMO an electrician might..
1.Verify that IS the right breaker you are looking at there.
2.Test for voltage (any voltage) at the sign.

and if 0v....
3.Continuity test the buried conductors.

You need a permit and an electrician of course (and the original electrical plans will help), but pulling a feeder from another sign or light is not necessarily a no-no. The amp load, conductor size, run length/voltage drop, overcurrent protection, etc all must be considered though.
