Ok ok (flame suit on) i have just bought my first house and went gung ho at changing a light fitting, removed the old one without looking at which wires went where as my new fitting came with a lovely diagram of new and old wire types so thought that'd do it.
Now as you can imagine i am new at this and have learnt a valuable lesson. I do not have a mutimeter.
So here goes:
2 x Black (Neutral)
2x Red (Live) or switched live
2x Green/yellow (earth)
Now when ever i connect the light and turn the switch on the circuit trips.
Have tried the following combo's (into a junction box)
2 x red together 2 x black together 2x green together
1 x red (a) 2 x black together 2x green together and red (b) in the loop termination block
1 x red (b) 2 x black together 2x green together and red (a) in the loop termination block
And its stil all fusing - my lovely fiance is being very understanding (at the moment lol) and i don't want that to chage so as much help as possible would be great and yes i know i should have looked BEFORE disconnecting (i have since learnt that)
Thanks in advance
