I was told by another electrician to cut earth off as the actual spotlight do not have an earth terminal
Shock was my stupidity, switch in hall can control upstairs light, I didnt pull fuse on that & when rewiring back up, I touched live on upstairs switch !
Success !!
I couldnt take flooring up as I did too god a job laying it, so I drilled a hole, cough, two holes lol, found ceiling connection & as per pic, all looked good, I disconnected live & rewired. Tested & all back working, must of just been missing the connection. Down side is as I was...
I just dug this out my ceiling b4 ripping up my floors (this is from garage conversion & closest to actual main fuse box) is wiring looking ok to u guys? does to me
Anyway, as Ive said b4, 2 electricians couldnt work it out, I think it is something really simple, if I knew how to find out where the dead cable was, I would be able to sort, it just odd that all come on when I add the live, surely one should remain off ?
Doing a continuity test with a MM gets me a beep between all non working lights, just not with working light, but then this should be expected as running the live cable is pretty much the same thing, just not as safe ;)
