Morning,
An upstairs FCU and a number of lights have stopped working but nothing has tripped in the CU downstairs
In the airing cupboard is an immersion heater with hard wired digital timer (working) and a shower pump with an FCU (not working and no light on the FCU)
My bedroom/ensuite lights sockets etc all work ok, but the lighting in the other two bedrooms, bathroom and landing don't work. (Bulbs not blown).
The only clue I have of anything going wrong is that the other night when switching the master bedroom light off, my Mrs noticed that it had caused the light in the 3rd bedroom to go off for a split second before coming back on again.
I tested this last night a couple of times and sure enough, off went the light in the other bedroom. Then the lights in the other rooms went off all together and wouldn't come back on.
I can understand if the fuse has gone in the FCU or the FCU/pump is knackered but don't get how this ties in with the lighting issue.
(They definitely failed at the same time).
Been in the house just over 5 years and there have been no amendments to the electrics and the house itself is about 17yrs old.
Only had very limited time to look at anything under torch light this morning before leaving for work, but would appreciate any pointers in the right direction for when I get home.
