Hi all, I'm new here so go easy if this is a silly question. I have a double light switch in my hall that I want to separate in to two singles. The first switch controls the dining room light (which is the one I want to move) and the second works with another switch upstairs to work the landing light. There is a total of four wires coming into the switch, two red and two black.
I thought it would be a matter of taking the apprpriate wires out of that and re-routing them into a new switch for the dining room, but it appears that if I do that, the landing light wont work as the wires cross over and one live has a link from one switch to the other. Any ideas? Rich
