This morning I have tried to replace a 3 gang 2 way switch. Before starting I drew a diagram of which wire went where and then disconnected everything. Then before I could connect the new switch, my darling husband has tidied up around me and disposed of my drawing!
I now have lots of wires and no idea where to put them.
The other problem I have is that when I had a new kitchen fitted, the incompetent fitter covered the alternative light switch with a cupboard so I am not able to identify which cable feeding in to the switch is the mains cable etc.
Below is a drawing of what I have to work with.
I can recall that the cable to the left if connected as shown powers one set of the lights (even though the blue wire is not connected). The two thick black wires are both live (checked already) everything else isn't.
Any help in how to do this would be really appreciated, especially as this is for my kitchen lights and I have a little one who will need feeding again soon!
