I'll start by saying...help i'm desperate!
I'm a complete amateur here and i've inherited a problem I don't fully understand, which is causing me some annoyance.
so, the situation is that I have a light at the top and bottom of the stairs and a double switch at the bottom and on the landing. currently neither is connected to anything. I'll stress at this point that I didn't disconnect them, but that is neither here nor there. I've managed to identify which wires are which through trial and error with a single switch. However, I still can't get the double point to work.
Currently I have 3 lives, 3 neutrals and 3 earths at each location. i've been trying various combinations of L1, L2 and com till i'm about ready to pull my hair out. Each light works on it's own, but I can not get the 2nd switch portion right.
I'm sure this is a relatively simple prospect with somebody with a decent working knowledge....however, i am not that person! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Apologies if i've not explained the problem clearly, let me know if there is anything further I need to add.
