Quick question: i'm currently trying to trace wiring on a recent house purchase. It's an old property but the wiring has been updated at some point over the years, although not all at the same time, with various things added over the years, hence my question.
Originally the outside lights went on and off on their own, I was told it was all on a timer, now they no longer come on and I can not find where the timer is or where the circuit starts from. I've visually traced the cabling but it disappears at various points into walls and I can not tell where its going after that. I've checked all the circuit breakers, which have been marked up with the relating circuits, checked all the switchs that I have managed to find but to no avail.
What would be the best technique for tracing the cabling
