Gas powered auger won't start

[Jacksonman]

So I went into a dark bathroom, put the plug in the wire and pulled the cord in complete darkness. Didn't see a spark or anything coming from the plug. Did I do that right?

So no spark means either the wire is bad or the toggle switch isn't working since I have a new plug? Or could the new plug also be defective?

I am really at a lose what to do. Just wondering if I need to take it into a mechanic.
