i think the contactor is fine. i think the problem must be the signal being sent down the switch line from the thermostat to the contactor. when i take the switch line out of a1, and turn it on at the fuse, the contactor does not close. have i wired the thermostat up wrong somehow? or is the...

i have a load of led walkover lights sunk into my steps at home. most of these no longer work and i think the transformer has gone in each case. however the transformers are buried within the steps themselves. in order to get at them i would need to get the light fittings out of the steps...

thanks softus, the underground pipes from the back of the house (inc soil) were relaid so that they are now attached to the junction which the 1 metre high inside soilt "stack?" (i think this is the durgo?) also goes into. so i think the 1 metre high stack is a "durgo". what do you mean by...
