hi
bit confused here - took a light switch off to decorate, not sure about wiring it back up - have looked at stickys but don't see what i'm looking for.
i have hall (downstairs) and landing (upstairs) lights - there is a double switch upstairs controlling up and downstairs lights - there is a double switch downstairs controlling up and downstairs lights (hope that makes sense!)
i removed the UPSTAIRS switch - i didn't note the wiring order properly
when i replaced the switch, the upstairs switch works for upstairs and downstairs, but the downstairs switch doesn't work at all - i haven't changed anything downstairs!
anyway, the wiring is as follows:
[code:1]
Downstairs Light

Br E Blue
| | |
[ connector block ]
| | |
R E BL
| | |
| | |
Downstairs light switch - double switch controls upstairs and downstairs
| | |
Blue Y R

Common L1 L2

i have the same wires for the upstairs switch as i have for the downstairs switch - just not sure if they should be wired the same way or differently
please can someone fill in the blanks?
thanks!
