I am trying to replace my existing plastic 3 gang 2 way switch with a volex chrome 3 gang 2 way switch.
The wiring is set up as 5 wires across the top with 2 being black with a red case, 2 red and 1 blue and 4 wires across the bottom being 1 black with a red case (which is connected to the top internally), 2 red and 1 yellow going into a connection named either Common or 1 way.
The new Volex switch however has only 4 connections across the top and 5 connections across the bottom named either L, L1 or L2.
Also, at present the earth appears to be looped into itself and on the Volex switch there is a connection specifically for the earth.
If anybody can help I would be very much appreciated.
