[QUOTE="Ardet R, post: 467391, member: 30040"] If you have loop in wiring as per Tony's diagram then when you are testing for polarity and the readings are coming out the same, test the same test but put one probe on the permanent line (the other on earth) and see if that remains at 999 no matter where the switch is. If so then you have connected the permanent line to the lamp and the switch is just connecting the loop in to the loop in. This is particularly easy to do if wiring in singles.
