Hi, I hope someone can help, I have looked through the help topics on here but have been unable to find a solution.
My two gang dimmer switch for the lounge was broken (casing cracked) so I bought a replacement which matches the old one exactly except the 'C' terminals inside are marked with a wavy 'X' on the new one.
I noted where the wires went into the old one before removing it and have wired the new one exactly the same.
However it's not functioning correctly; one of the lights works perfectly but the other will only turn on very dim no matter how I adjust it. I can swap the wires over and get the reverse effect on the other light.
I have mapped out the wires and colours as per the image (hopefully) attached below. This does not show the yellow/green earth wire that is attached inside the casing.
If anyone can tell me where I'm going wrong some advice would be greatly appreciated, otherwise I will try and get someone with some knowledge round to have a look!
Cheers
