Hi, we are replacing all the switches in our house with new ones (not different types).
When we removed the hall switch some of the wires came out without us being able to mark which wire went in which connector. Basically we have the normal scenario where there are two lights - one upstairs and one downstairs and there is a double switch downstairs which turns them both on and off and a single switch upstairs which turns the upstairs one on and off.
In the downstairs switch there are two cables feeding in. In one there is a red, black and a bare wire (earth) and in the second there is a red, blue and yellow wire. In the upstairs there are again two cables with exactly the same colours.
Please note that I have looked at your notes you supply but can't follow them in relation to my specific problem.
I would really appreciate your help on this. Sarah
