Hi,
I hope someone can help I changed an older 2 gang 2 way switch for a new one and now the hallway light will not switch off. I did make a note of the old settings but they don't work either (I must have made a mistake).
There are 3 (3 core) cables coming in to control an outside light and a hallway light, also controlled by a 3 gang hallway switch.
As mentioned the 1st cable is for the external light, the 2nd contains the live feed and the 3rd goes off to the hallway light switch.
The 1st cable is for the outside light and the black and blue wires are not used. The red wire is connected to COM (the external light works fine and switches on and off. There is a jumped red wire coming from the live feed from L2 on the 1st gang.
In case the picture is not clear I have wired as follows:-
Com - Red (from hallway light)
L2 - Red/Yellow (from live feed) plus jumper to L1 on other gang
L1 - Yellow/Blue (from hallway light switch)
Not sure where to go with this, so any help would be very much appreciated.
My 1st post!
