The problem is it trips out as soon as i put the power on.
Any advice as to where i cocked up?
chrismdac said:Hmmm another doltish question im afraid, gonna get the reds connected no probs, what is the best way to discern which is the switched live? and which is the neutral as there is no red tape on the cables. I have a multimeter.
securespark said:That's what you do with the switchwires, I didn't realise you'd taken down the fittings as well.
Here's what you do.
First, put your wife into the shredder.
Next, ID the switchwires. Get a multimeter set to continuity. It beeps when you short the probes.
Put these on the red/black pairs at the ceiling. Next, rescue your screaming wife from the shredder & ask her to
A: stop bleeding
B: stop snivelling
C: operate the switches for you.
You will then tell which of the red/black pairs at the ceiling positions are connected to the switches.
