Wiring Problem

christyxo

Hi. I've just moved into a place and the only problem is that one light does not work, so I attempted to re-wire it and in doing so, I got it working, but another stopped working in its place...

I've got a board of 4 switches. 2 correctly switch other lights on and off, and I cannot see anything wrong with the wiring for the other two that could cause the problem...

Regarding the two giving me issues; I have a series of spot lights, and a central kitchen light... When I wire circuit connectors (live and loop) into this order, the spot lights work, but the central light does not...

When I wire it into the following, the spot lights don't work but the central light does...

Does anyone have any idea how I can wire this so that I can get both the spots and the central light to work?


Thanks

I'm sorry, but your description of what you are doing makes no sense whatsoever. Perhaps someone else can have a shot at it.

Where are you changing the wiring? And can you attempt not only to tell us what colours the wires are but also which cables they belong to?

A picture (or two) speaks a thousand words!

We need to know what wire is in what connection - defined by the legend next to the connection (com, L1, L2 etc.) Switch connections aren't normally grouped across, but up/down! (Com is above L1 & L2 for example)
