Hi there,
I am hoping that someone might be able to help out with a common problem that seems to pop up a lot on this forum, however, I have not been able to find an answer to at the moment.
I have a 2 gang 2 Way Light Switch at the bottom of my stairs which drives the downstairs hall light and an upstairs landing light. One of the switches should control the downstairs light only and the other will control the on/off of the landing light from either the downstairs or landing switch. I have them currently wired up as per the attached picture.
The three grouped wires on the right hand side (red to common, yellow to L1, blue to L2) allow the upstairs light to be switched on and off successfully from both the downstairs switch and the upstairs switch.
On the left hand side I have the two grouped wires (Red to L1 and Black to L2), which I am assuming will drive the downstairs light. Unfortunately, it does not switch on or off, i.e. light remains off.
Where am I going wrong?
Any help and advice is greatly appreciated.
