[QUOTE="binky, post: 85715, member: 490"] Did some fault finding yesterday - couldn't understand why 2 way switching via an intermediate wasn't working properly - re-wire switches a dozen times, still couldn't get to work, eventaully took to checking continuity of cables - broken conductor on Brown, and grey cable one end connects to brown on the other - no wonder I couldn't get it to work properly - moral is ask the customer more questions in the first place, it saves a lot of irritation. Fault finding today on property I've been to before - part of downstairs lights not working - inspect accessories - poorly wired pendant. Gave a shake, lights come on/ go off. Diagnosis loose neutral terminal in pendant. Fault finding should always be logical but a good visual for obvious faults can save a lot of time. [/QUOTE]
