[QUOTE="Scwalker, post: 451982, member: 29453"] Hi looking for for any help you could offer I had my house rewired several years ago, we could never decide on an outside light for the front door other than it had to be dusk/dawn, because of that it was left disconnected until recently where we just decided to buy a light. I found that this light is part of the outside light fuse, this comprises of my garage lights ( switch at both entrance points to the garage) a rear outside led light I installed myself and this front door light. Up until connecting the outside light all in the garage worked as designed. When i installed the light, the light switch for the new light was in the off position, I cut the cable to trim and found I had tripped the fuse. I left the fuse off until it was fully installed, turned the fuse back on and the outside front door light was on, and wouldn’t switch off!!! The garage lights still work as before. If I turn the fuse off I can now turn this front door light on and off, the lights in the garage are now off as expected. the light switch for the front door is a shared switch with a hall and upstairs. I assume it’s pulling it’s power from one of thise circuits. Appreciate any help you can offer. Simon [/QUOTE]
