[QUOTE="martyj, post: 482739, member: 29689"] Hi all, The switch popped off the other day, so picked up a replacement and rewired it (very difficult as no leeway with wires?!). I labelled the wires as I removed them, replaced like for like, but now the bathroom light only works when the fan is on. If I isolate, the light won't work. So obviously I have made a mistake. Photos are attached, and this is the current wiring: N in 2: blue N out: 1 grey L2 in: 1 no sleeve L2 out: 2, 1 brown 1 blue L1 in: 2, 1 sleeve brown, 1 blue L1 out:1 brown I have an extractor fan with a timer, a single switch on the wall, and a basic 3 pole isolator switch. Thought I'd done it without bothering you guys! Thanks as always. Martin. [ATTACH]9962._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]9963._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]9964._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
