Hi,

I recently changed my light switches. Tried to copy existing wiring but ran into trouble. With help from here, all is working now but hallway.

I think that all electricity comes from kitchen.

2 swithces in hallway. 1 at each end.

1. switch at door: L, L1 and L2. 3 red wires.

2. switch at other end: L, L1 and L2. 4 red wires.

Problem: When I get them both to work, you can only control the lights from one end.

Could someone talk me through on how to figure out how to correct this?
I have a multimeter. 2 x 2 meter single wire. coloured tags.

Thanks
