I have 2 switches for my lounge light, both have to be on for it to work, switch 2 must be on for switch 1 to turn the light on and off.

I know it's one cable in one wrong hole, but which one? The house came like this, I'm not guilty for this little faux pas.

Thanks for any replies.
 
the first switch is supplying the 2nd.

list what you see and we can take it from there
 
afaict there are two main possibilities

1: a wire is loose/in the wrong hole but all the right cable is in place
2: the spark who installed it didn't even install the correct cable.

as mentioned we need info on what wires are where before we can give you more info.
