Hi guys, I'm fresh of the production line in spark training so very wet behind the ears, please be gentle with me
My father has just replaced the 3 light switches in the hall , stairs and landing, and since he has done that there is an issue, I believe he has mixed some wires up somewhere , I spent a while today trying to work it out and frankly I'm at a loss.
2 gang 2 way switch at the bottom of the stairs.
1 gang 2 way switch downstairs hall.
1 gang 2 way on the landing.
The downstairs hall light will not switch on from either position, the downstairs gang that switches on the upstairs lights is now switching on both up and down lights together, and the upstairs switch is switching on up and down lights together i will add some pictures, there is no switch wire sheathing on any cables, its old red/black red/blue/yellow cables, i have done a continuity test and tagged 2 wires with grey tape, these wires go to the 1 gang 2 way in downstairs hall, that's as far as I have got really
