switch 1 has 3 browns, 1 is perm live, 1 goes to light (that should be switched live), the other goes to switch 2, put that one in the same terminal as the perm live, then switch 2 will get a perm live
it could be the lights are off the power cirquit via fused spur, is thier a small fuse anywhere, normally the size of a single socket, if so check that fuse, if blown replace with a 5 amp
you assume wrong, 1 of the brown you assume to be switched live should be perm live, take 1 of them out and put it in with the perm live, if light 1 is perm lite its the wrong one
