Ok dokey
Well, I decided to put some new switches in the hall and landing as it has just been decorated.
I have put in 3 single power sockets, and 2 twin light switches, one upstairs, one downstairs.
The problem I have is that it all works, except that the downstairs light is on when the upstairs switch is off. You are also unable to turn the downstairs light off at the switch downstairs when this is on. However, turn it 'off' upstairs and it works fine upstairs and downstairs.
I guess this is just a simple wire in the wrong place, but I cant see where. I'm sure I rewired everything as it was on the old switch I took off.
The switches have the following wires going to each switch as you look at it from the front:
Downstairs:
Yellow Blue Red
Red Red+Yellow Blue+Black
Upstairs:
Blue Yellow Red
Red Red+Yellow Black+Blue
Anyone point out the blindingly obvious of where an total amateur is going wrong lol?
Cheers in advance
