Hello everyone, I have come here in the hope someone can help me solve my problem.
I decided yesterday to replace my ceiling rose in my bathroom. I looked at the wiring before i removed the old one, and thought that looks easy. I then removed the old rose and replaced with the new.
I remember thinking it looked easy because there were just black and red cables, but after removing the old rose i got confused because there appeared to be a black cable with the red ones.
I wired the system back, but got some unexpected results. Now the lights in the last 2 rooms in my flat flicker
The setup is like this. breaker box > kitchen light > hall light > bathroom light / fan > bedroom > lounge.
Now the new rose is wired up the bedroom and lounge flicker and don't work at all if the bathroom is switched off.
I also changed the light switch just before the rose, but i tested with the old rose and it worked fine (did not try the other rooms)
I know that i probably need a qualified electrician now, but i was wondering if anyone knows what may be happening and why? All the guides i have seen have 6 wires. and excluding 2 earth wires i only have 5 wires. Also in not sure if this is relevant but before this happened the fan would only work when the light was on in the bathroom.
Thanks in advance... can anyone draw where the connections should be?
