Hey guys my first post here and I am hoping for some help. I want to replace a double switch & a double dimmer (both side by side)
I've replaced single switches all over the house and wallsockets without issues. With this I am stumped. Below are the original wiring with original switches. It's old coloured wiring so wanting to know what goes where to get this up and running.
Red, Black (wrapped in red tape) & Green wires coming from one cable and 3 single grey cables going to different areas on the switches. I followed the exact same wiring adding new switch and dimmer but only the switch worked and simmer did not. I hope I haven't blown anything.
I plan on retracing my steps tomorrow and starting afresh with adding the original switch and dimmer back from the photos but as far as I know it's possible I could have made a mistake, I never wired the green wire to the back of any of the new switches as there is only one.
Would greatly appreciate some help here as it's driving me crazy.
Appreciate any replies
Thanks
