Hi,
Hope someone can help! I have removed a light switch from the wall to decorate. I didn't remove any of the wires but one of them must have been loose as when the now free switch was touched, the other lights on the loop flickered.
While I was moving the light switch, the other lights on the loop went out and now I can't get them on again. Thing is, the trip switch is OK and 3 of the lights on the 8 light loop still work (including the one with the loose wire).
I had a look behind and I appear to have 4 red wires connecting to the switch. It's a 2-way switch but should be being used as a one-way. There are two wires in the 1-way hole and one wire in the common hole. The fourth wire was loose. I tried connecting the fourth wire to the 2-way and to the common but have had no joy.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Tony.
PS. I have digital pics if it'll help.
