This morning from a neighbour: I've replaced a switch and it doesn't work.
This is how I found it wired and their sketch of how the original was wired:
Ah simple I said out loud... and swapped red and yellow over, in the process I found the yellow wire was clamped on the insulation.
At that point I accepted the COT and watched as their 6yo grandson checked functionality.
To say I got very confused watching him run up and down stairs flicking switches under instruction was an understatement. However Granny said it looked right.
Basically when the landing light was switched on it had to be switched off in the same place.
The multimeter gave some very weird results.
Then I carefully removed the upstairs 2g switch, which is for the landing and bathroom lights, from the wall paper and many layers of paint to find this:
Predictions on a postcard please but please realise the 2G switch has not been touched for several decorations.
