Right, i will try and explain this as clearly as i can, i can upload photos if someone would be kind enough to explain how.
In my downstairs hallway and upstaies landing i have two lights, one on each level.
Downstairs i have a two gang two way switch. The right hand switch turns the downstairs hallway light on and off, very simple. The left hand swicth does nothing, and has done nothing since i bought the house two years ago.
If you remove the switch there are two pairs of cables, one pair feeding each switch, they are both red and black pairs, no earth.
Upstairs, again i have a two gang two way swicth. The left hand switch controls the bathroom light, and is again fed by a single red and black pair cable, this works fine.
The right hand switch is fed by a 3 core cable (red, blue and yellow) and controls the upstairs landing light only.
Additionally within the back box is another 3 core cable (yellow, blue and red) that is terminated in a chock block and not connected to the switch at all.
Obviously i want to be able to control the landing light from downstairs as well as from upstairs, does this sound possible with the wiring thats present as i must assume thats the whole reason the double gang swictch was downstairs to start with?
