Hello all, i'm new, and a little confused with an electrical problem I have.
I have replaced a pull cord light switch in my bathroom and now when wiring the new one up nothing happens (no lights). It doesnt even trip the fuse.
Coming in, I have 2 red wires, 2 black wires and a bare copper earth.
The lightswitch has an L2, L1 and COM.
both Black wires go into the same plastic terminal (not connected to the lightswitch!)
I thought i took the reds out of L2 and L1, but on wiring it back up it doest work.
i have also dismantled the pull cord switch and put it back together again. No parts are missing.
