Guys, I have come across an unusual wiring pattern for two way switching. Can you help?
One switch has been moved and we can not figure out where the various cables should go.
Switch 1 -
Black cable carrying live feed
Two red cables neither live
Switch 2 - this switch has been unaltered
Three cables, all red, two into L1 one into L3 no cable into L2, one of the cables from L1, not sure where it goes to or comes from.
Two red cables in switch 1 when switched 2 is switched on register as a circuit ie the two cables obviously switch throu swutch 2
The problem is that no matter what pattern Ii use for the cables in switch 1 I can't get the two way switching to work - it is either permanently on or permanently off
Any ideas?
