Light switch wiring question..
Hi... The other day my bathroom light/fan switch (double switch/single
gang), got burning hot to the touch. I pulled the fuse & unscrewed the switch - you can see it here (hope this works!): [IMG]http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k251/Captain_Black_/ DSCN0666.jpg[/IMG] As you can see, there are 4 incoming red wires , and 1 yellow. There is also 1 red going from one terminal to another. Three of the red wires go into the same terminal, & it looks like it's here that the problem started (if you tilted the switch upwards & looked at it head- on, the left switch is for the single light, and the right switch is for the second light + the extractor fan). What I don't understand is if this was supposed to *be* like this (and has been working as such), why this happened? Can anyone offer advice? Cheers ... Mark |
