identify switch wire

[val8912]

I have fitted two new ceiling roses. I thought I had wired it as it was before but one light wont work unless both light switches are on. I have used a multimeter to identify the switch wires but all black wires light up and buzz

wat are you using to test?

Time for the Yellow Pages, I think. Once you've lost the plot with switching it can take an age to sort out if you don't know what you're doing. An electrician should be able to sort this out in no time at all. That's what we do.

I'm having a similar problem, I have also fitted two new ceiling roses in my hallway, both from the same switch. The first light responds to the switch but the second is permanently on. I've been checking the wiring for the last 13 hours (check the time of the post) and have finally admitted defeat. Help!

Cheers in advance for any advice.
