*help please*2 way switching landing lighting

[UNG]

like I said I have done all that and identified everything then all I seem to get is either 2 way switching working fine and all downstairs lights and no power upstairs or no 2 way switching and everything else working

So post a diagram of the cables and connections you have identified

We know he has a bell set ...........

 

[telectrix]

only way to do it is go to basics. start at the beginning, ID all cables, draw out a diagram if it helps.

 

[KAS1]

Disconnect everything on the circuit, meter out wire by wire, ferrule every wire, make a drawing and connect as required to get the circuit working correctly, then post back on here to let us know what your mate had done to cock it all up.................

But loads of the twxts on here don't exactly install confidence, nor like answering direct sensible questions posed by people TRYING to help.

A truly skilled electrician would be ashamed to even ask this of us.

I sincerely hope you don’t do any electrical work in your mate’s factory.
