[QUOTE="betty swollocks, post: 311449, member: 105"] The picture shows 3x red lives in the centre labelled loop. 1x black to the left labelled N for neutral. the right hand side has 2x blacks, basically you should have the switch return in the right hand ( as you look at the picture) terminal and two blacks in the N neutral terminal, what you are describing is, when the switch is made the two blacks together a making a dead short and blowing the fuse, you need to find which of these 2x blacks is the switch return and which is actually a neutral, a multimeter will tell you in seconds, what you should end up with is 3x reds in centre 2x blacks in N neutral terminal and 1x black in the right hand side SW terminal.
