[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 551521, member: 250"] Did you do any measurement to prove the circuit was an intact ring final before you altered anything.? Did you do any measurement to prove ring integrity after your alterations? Basic rule for any electrical alterations is to assume everything is faulty until you have proved otherwise. And although many people think sockets must be wired as a ring, they do not have to be. Often they can be radial circuits, or a mix of a ring with spurs. So without proving the original circuit composition it is a bit of pot luck trying to second guess your exact problem with doing a few continuity tests with a approved test meter? [/QUOTE]
