can you throw up some pics of the light and nameplate data off the side?
have you tried a known good bulb of the correct type and wattage? is it mh or hps?
make sure you have good power supplied to the light, all connections are good, even at the socket, wired correctly and the bulb is good, after that it really isn't cost effective to repair a lowbay fixture for a grow unless you have spare parts already. you can usually find a used fixture for cheaper than a rebuild kit to repair a bad one.
if you still need help repairing it let me know, i will try and help. pics of the wires and connections will help.

I haven't been on here for quite awhile. The pics disappeared when Riu did a server upgrade.
