Have just moved a wardrobe and found a light switch behind it .. I would like to fit a blanking plate over this but am unsure how to wire everything up ... the newly found switch has two cables running into it with wires as follows:
cable 1 - black and red wires attached to termination block, earth wire connected to the metal back box
cable 2 - red, blue and yellow - these three were connected to the old switch, but being new to this stuff I stupidly disconnected them before recording how and where, earth wire as above
To reiterate this switch was not being used
The switch that is in use and will continue to be used has only one cable running into it, the wires here are currently connected to a dimmer switch as follows, red to L in and blue to L out, there is also a yellow wire that is curled back on itself and not connected to anything (does this need to be connected to a term. block or have insulation tape over the end) and an earth wire that is also curled back on itself and not connected to anything but does have insulation tape over the end (this switch has a plastic back box). This dimmer switch will be replaced with a normal one way switch.
Any guidance would be great
