Replace the antifreeze in the fuse
Box? .....I got nothing. Well, unless you'd like to accidentally electrocute yourself. I pretty sure I could do that

you're absolutely sure it has current? you could hire an electrician but he'd probably charge you.

I've had those non-contact deals indicate power when there isn't any before. Put a real voltmeter on it. With that said, other than the switch, there isn't really much that can go wrong with a light fixture.

Lick it, like a nine volt battery. See if it is good or not.

Non contact voltage testers are actually inductance testers they can give a false reading due to inductance.

Yeah check voltage with a meter. Are the bulbs in series? Rare, but If so one out would cause all of them to not work. Check your switch for continuity ( remove voltage first). Bad wire in the chandelier itself, you could test the wires for continuity as well. Run a cord from the chandelier wires to an outlet and see if that lights it up.
Be careful, it's only 110 but if you fall off a ledger( eta stupid autocorrect: ladder) that could hurt you.

Get a real meter, a cheap one will work. Check hot to ground, then hot to neutral. Should get 120 both ways.

This is most common in chandeliers that are made out of cheap strands of Christmas lights.

I am a licensed master electrician. Get a ladder pull down fixture enough to see wirenuts pay particular attention to white wires. Sounds like loose wire. Nonelectricians don't twist wires I make plenty of money off of this very problem.
