Yesterday the shower went off whilst in use. It tripped the RCD. After checking all the connections in the pull switch and shower I found a loose connection in the Shower Unit itself. When tested the problem is now that the shower comes on as soon as you switch on at the pull switch. It shouldn't as the shower unit has an on/off switch with a phased shutdown. What is causing this?

Make and model of shower?
One possibility is that when replacing the shower cover, you have jammed the switch in the on position, or crushed/damaged the wires connected to the switch.
Or the shower is broken.

How is that worse? It tripped the RCD initially.
Sounds like the shower is kaput.
Power down, disconnect the feed to it, make the ends safe, then reapply power.
When you switch on the supply, does it trip the RCD?

sounds like you have a faulty pcb which is sending constant power to the solenoid coil so getting water flow soon as pullcord is on.
what is it the mk 2 or 3 ?
