En suite extractor fan with run on timer

[Paddington]

hi, can't suss this, doing an extractor with run on timer, which has led light. Cabled the separate isolation switch, two way to fan, 2 way to jb, light switch l1 to isolator l1 at jb, sperate line feeds to lights, common to line at jb with live feed from lighting ring, neutral has neutral in and and out for lighting circuit, 2 lights out, neutral from isolator in. Test it and nothing on switching on, there is power in ok but both lights out and fan, nothing, can't see anything wrong with wiring, any suggestions other than give up and go for a pint!

Best you rip out the 2 core to the fan and replace it with 3c

Sorry if I'm reading your post wrong but all you need is a 3 core / earth from the main light to the isolator, then 3 core / earth from isolator to fan.
From light: Neutral to N in. Switched Live to L1 in.
Permanent Live to L2 in.

To fan: N out to N of fan. L1 out to switched L on fan.
L2 out to permanent L on fan.
Earths obviously to respective terminals.

Apologies if that's not what you wanted but your post is a bit confusing.

While you're having your pint, sketch it out on a beer mat, take a photo with your phone, and post it up. Cos your description is... not very... clear.

I got confused with the two way business

I done that, it is clear now.

Sorry Westward your diagram is wrong, there's way too many curves. The electricity will get dizzy on it's way to the fan

I wonder where the op has got the 13A fuse?

Did he do any dead tests

Hi Paddington, is this a new install or existing ? If existing what changed since it last worked (If it did) ?

You need to go through some testing of the circuit, dumb suggestion but is the isolator on.

Hi Paddington: Go back to basics mate, get the lighting working properly first then look at the fan problem.
You'll probably kick yourself when you find you've got so bogged down in it, you've missed something daft .

Gotta go, back in an hour or so.

Westward, behave. No more dizzy electricity

You say it is live but is there neutral continuity.
