Hi, I recently posted a query about replacing a bathroom extractor fan and have just got round to doing the job. Before I started, I was testing the existing wires to check which was permanent live/switched etc. but found that there didn't seem to be any power at all.
I was using one of the screwdriver testers with the bulb inside which is working because I tested it on a socket afterwards.
The original fan is connected directly to the electric shower. I know that is against the rules and I will probably have to get an electrician in but I just wondered if anyone could explain why the shower works, but the fan stopped working a few months ago and now there doesnt seem to be any current getting to the connections ?
