No, the live goes into the socket, then another live goes from the socket to a light switch for the garage. That light switch continues to work but the socket doesn’t.

I’d originally plugged in a fan, but popped back inside and got a phone charger which I’d checked was working

Thanks, it doesn’t trip off, but there is power reaching the light, which comes off the socket

Yea it’s owing the red flag, but still nothing.

I was wrong in what I’d thought was on the board but have attached a picture of the unit plus socket. If it’s easiest to call an electrician in then I can do that, just wondered if it was something simple I was missing

Amazing, I really appreciate the comprehensive response.

Thank you, appreciate the wording. So in my very amateur opinion yes, in the consumer unit the ‘garage’ is on a switched circuit, which if overloaded would trip. I’ve changed many a socket in my time but is it worth having someone look at it if this has failed after being professionally...

It is on the mains switchboard, is that what you mean?

Ah ok thanks, the garage goes through the CU as a standalone switch and only has that socket and light

Hi all, looking for some advice….I had a Contactum RCD socket fitted in the garage professionally 2.5 years ago but it no longer works. I very rarely use it, and after the socket is a light which continues to work so power must be reaching the circuit. Question is am I missing something? it’s...

Thanks, I’d untwisted the earth, it was like this when I looked, now in Wago

So the other light is permanently on, I can switch this one on/off, but the other just stays on.

Hi all, I’m sure this has been asked before, but I have 4 cable sets running from the ceiling. When I connect up, the light powers on and operates correctly, the second light powers on but doesn’t switch off. When I’ve done this with the 3 cable system previously switch live goes into the...

Thanks, that’s what I’m thinking too, really appreciate the response.

Hi, it’s not the best photo and was before the backer board/tiles. But where the red arrow is would be the only place I could fix, but that’s where the gap now is when the base slid back. I cant fix on the other wall as it’s fully tiled and no available points.
