wiring problem
I've posted this before but see post 'have i bought the wrong
switches' i have now reconfigured the wiring. to summarise i have a main light (2 way single) switch next to my door and a wall switch (two way double) which controls the main light from another location and also a completely seperate set of light. I will describe how everything is wired below .Everything works ok apart from the fact that when the main switch is on and therefore the main light is on; the switch which should switch it off/on (on the double switch) does not work. as a point to note if the main switch is off the secondary switch on the double switch does switch the main light on/off with no problems. fyi the other switch on the double controls a wall light which works as it should. to summarise i need to be able to switch the main light on and off from the double switch when the light is already switched on at the main. heres the wiring at the main single switch which controls the main bedroom light L1 - BLACK AND BLUE COMMON - RED L2 - RED AND YELLOW THE CABLE WHICH CONTAINS THE RED AND BLACK CABLE FYI THIS IS RED WIRE WHICH IS IN COMMON ************************************************** ************************************************** ********** HERE IS THE WIRING IN THE DOUBLE SWITCH L1 - YELLOW COMMON - RED TERMINAL BLOCK 1 L2 - BLUE COMMON - RED TERMINAL BLOCK 2 L2 BLACK TERMINAL 2 CONTAINS BOTH THE BLACK AND RED WIRES FROM THE SAME CABLE. PLEASE HELP IT HAS REALLY GOT MY HEAD DONE IN !! SO CLOSE BUT YET SO FAR!! THANKS IN ADVANCE NEIL |
