I thought this would be simple but it\\\'s not.
I\\\'m replacing the hall 3 gang switch which operates an outside light, the hall light and the landing light. The landing light can also be operated by a switch on the landing.
The existing switch has 5 terminals across the top.
Blue wires go to each of two terminals marked 1W. Yellow wires go to terminals 2W and com. The final terminal has no wire to it.
There are 4 terminals across the bottom. A red wire goes to com, another red wire to 1W which is then connected to a second com terminal. The 4th terminal has no wires.
The new switch has terminals as shown below:-
com L2 L1 com L2
L1 L2 com L1
I have tried to associate the new switch terminals to the old ones but can\\\'t get all lights working. In particular I can\\\'t get the landing light to work from both hallway and landing switches.
Sorry this seems a long question but I thought the more info. the better you would understand.
