Hi, I am changing the bathroom pull switch to a standard switch on the wall outside the bathroom. There is only one red, blue and green cable that was removed from the pull switch, the switch I am replacing it with has L1, L2 and com. The instructions with the new switch do not make sense as my cables do not correspond with the instructions. Pleas can seine advise me on how to wire this. Many thanks.

Red - Common
Blue - L1

If a metal switch you need the green connected to it otherwise connect to to the back box.

That's a very unusual set of colours. :confused: :confused: :confused:

Is that a green or a green/yellow?

Do you remember what wires were connected where in the old pull switch?

:?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:
 
kkynaston>> will try that.

Space cat>> Sorry that is a green / yellow - earth cable. Although these were connected in the original pull switch my other half disconnected that and forgot to look!! :cry:

In that case, kkynaston's advice is good. :) :) :)

If you can be bothered, have a look in the cable sheath for a yellow wire that's been cut back. (Red, yellow and blue are the old colours for flat, 3-core and earth cable.) If you find one make sure it's not in danger of touching anything metal.
 
kkynaston>> that worked an absolute treat!! You are a star

Thanks to you both for your help / comments.
