[QUOTE="glanvog, post: 460797, member: 30016"] Hello, I'm trying to replace a 2 gang (one of which is 2 way) switch for a different style switch. It's a Euro style switch so has different configuration on the back with L, L1 (gang 1), (gang 2), and 2 way inputs. I've got it to work for the single way gang (L = Red, L2 = Black) but the 2 way gang trips the fuse in each way I've tried to wire it. Old 2 way switch had L2 = Red, L1 = Blue, and Com = Yellow. Old 1 way switch had L1 = Red, and Com = Black. The other switch linked to the 2 way has L1 = Red & Red, L2 = Blue & Black, Com = Yellow. I thought it would L = Blue (plus red from single gang), L1 = Yellow, (L2 = Black for single way gang), 2 way = Red. But this and other options I've tried trips the fuse box. Suggestions please. Thanks [/QUOTE]
