I am currently going through my NVQ level 3 and have attempted to put in a new 2 gang 2 way switch for my parents. Which feeds a new light, 1 way. And controls an existing outside light.
I saw a Junction box (on the same circuit ofcourse) underneath the floor above. This is what i done.
I needed a N to the switch so i pulled the single core cable out which from what i guess was the Feed (originally in the C terminal) and re- fed a Twin + Earth. Providing a new Feed and Neutral.
I re connected one side of the switch the same as connected previously with the new feed ( FEED in C, and a red in 1 and a black in 2.)
I then connected the N through to the light, and put a link to the C for the feed (From the other C) And the SW in 1 Terminal.
YAY the light worked...... However.. one switch controls Both lights, and the new switch controls only the one.... Please Help!
I am starting to think the Feed from the JB isnt a Feed? Something is mixed up in the JB i think... Please help!
Thank you.
James.
