    Help.. no lights downstairs in my home

    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 ?

    Help.. no lights downstairs in my home

    Should I try the continuity test again but split the lives in the working light ? Could that help me find the dead cable ?

    Help.. no lights downstairs in my home

    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 ;)
