[QUOTE="joniemaximus, post: 490868, member: 32206"] Looking at the ceiling rose with 1 live and 2 neutrals (and 3 Earths) something is going on, the switching cables are probably joined above the ceiling, next time i'm in the loft space i'll have a look. I work in a very logical fashion (to me anyway) so i like to know what is going on with things and why they may have been done even if i have no intention of changing everything. from what i've drawn out and imagined i believe the second live went to a light in the garage and the mystery switch was wired like that to use a 2 way switch as an on/off switch, but i'm yet to find where the cable from that switch terminates. I might have to get my stud finder out to see if i can trace it. [/QUOTE]
