Hi, Just wanted to say a massive thnx to all who have helped.....Particularly 333rocky The prob was the black neutrals I put them seperately in a connector box when in fact they should have all gone in the same one so again tnx for all who posted I found the advice extremely helpfull...

there are three red cables going into pull switch. One red is from bulb in B/R going to com the other two reds are going into L2. Now I thought one of the two reds is the live feed to the bulb in the back bedroom and the other one is a live feed from elsewhere? I will put 3 blacks in same...

opps forgot to say yes im lucky in that the loft hatch is in B/R and it's only arm lenght to bulb so I deffo know red and black from bulb

Good point I havnt looked to see if there was any evidence of them being screwed but will look at first light lol. To be honest I think they were just loose in the box. There was deffo nothing in the connector and there isnt one in new one either so thought it was industry standard. Its a...

They were stripped and copper was showing but were deffo not connected...I'm 100% sure cause I was shocked at how dangerous looking it looked if that made sense. The swith had a comm connection which the bulb in bathroom went to...An L1 which didnt even have anything in it (by which I mean a...

Yes the light in a back bedroom I presume is on the same circuit and I noticed today that it is gone too....so presumably related..... No the 3 black wires were not conected to anything and were loose...Is that the norm????? Sorry but I havnt got a meter to check.....

Ermmm at first I didn't do anything but swap the wires after when I realised that it didn't work I did look in loft to chase back the wire from the bulb but didn't really make too much disturbance. No I havn't done anything to the bulb fitting although if and when this prob was rectified that...

I was simply just redecorating the bathroom and wanted everything fresh and clean.....

Right an update....... I put the red wire from bulb into com and the two other reds into L2 as there was no screw in L1 and put the 3 blacks in a block changed the light bulb but yet it still does not work any suggestions??????

Thanks very much.......... I'm am so sure thats what I did though and if it doesnt work call in the calvery..........or change the bulb lol

So basically what your saying is put the 3 blacks in a block, make sure reds are screwed to the wire.....and that should be ok????? The red wire from bulb (I know its from bulb as I chased the wire back) should be in com....the other two reds in L1 and the 3 blacks in a block??????

No blacks are not in a block but I could do that no probs. I will check but I'm pretty sure I screwed down on to wire and not insulation. When u say neutral and earth connections are nice and secure there is no earth wire and I thought the blacks were the nuetral and didnt touch them...

Hi, I am replacing an old pull cord switch in my bathroom when I took the old one off there were 3red wires and 3 black wires. One red wire which comes from bulb was connected to com the other two reds went into L1 I put it back exactly as it was before but light wouldnt come on. I then put back...
