In my kitchen / living room I have a 3 gang switch controlling 3 areas of lights. It's all linked to the same lighting circuit.
On switching one of them on, the lights went off, like they blew. The others stayed on, so it didn't trip the circuit.
Taking the switch off, there is power going into the switch, and the power going out is working correctly with the switch. The lights that are affected, I pulled out of the ceiling, but there is just no power in the cable at all.
The switch and lights are linked via a junction box. I think there is only one junction box between the light switch and the cables at the lights.
They have been fine for over 6 months, and nothing should have disturbed the junction box - if there was a lose wire for example.
Can anyone offer any advice before I take a chunk of ceiling out to get to the junction box?
