Hello there,

I am Simon and I am looking for some help from some of you experts with some electrical work that I'm getting stuck with. I always do alot of DIY and am more than happy changing my switches or putting extra sockets in. I did my own kitchen last year but I recently decided to change my fusebox because it was really starting to smell badly and it was probably unsafe. I realise that this is a bit more advanced than just adding a socket so I got one of the more modern looking ones from homebase with the switches instead and I have replaced my old one with this. The problem is that when I connect the green and yellow wire into the bar at the top like on my old fusebox nothing works and I cant get two of the switches to stay on?? I have left it off for now but I know it is important as it connects everything to ground so I dont want to start a fire or anything. what I need to know is how do i get this connected without it affecting the switches?

This has been bugging me for days and nothing on google seems to point me in the right direction. I should also say for clarity that everything has been connected exactly as shown on the instructions that came with the new fusebox.

Any help would be really really great thanks.
 
Computer took a while to refresh.

Next advice for him would be to pick a better day job than trying to wind up true sparks with that nonsense.

Actually, it's pretty poor of the OP. We try to help people and give them advice, free of charge, then get jokers who waste our time. I did realise straight away that it was a wind-up, due to the excellent way it was written, but I felt a bit sorry for those who had been good enough to take the time to answer.
