Sweating with the customer, saying something like.....it's the spark whose fitted them first of all has done it different than what you should and I gots to phone me mate to ask him because he's knows how to do it this other way!

New spark turns up....introduces himself to the Electrical Trainee with a firm handshake & "nice to meet you"

Electrical Trainee now gone extremely red, and slithers away making any excuse as possible......

Another lost contact!

i mean the best way to sort this one out p11jor would be to test at origin. switcopen all the lightswitches and test at origin between live & earth bar and just keep closing a lightswitch until it goes to earth....
that narrows it down.....

 

[p11jor]

I would stick to my trusty split the circuit test one way test the other then it's narrowed down.!

But what would firstfix do haha?

well in that case it opening and closing switches would have no effect.....then start at the furthes point on the circuit and drop out the phase....keep working back till it clears....then you know its on the one you`v just disconnected dont you...

Get the neon out, and the wand

Your both miles out, switch off all light switches, leave Lamps in, then switch on breaker or better still push in BS 3036, then switch one light switch on at a time until you hear a bang, easy, no need to get the test kit out of the Van, if your lucky the 3036 may bang but not blow, so you can pull it back out repair the damage and push it back in without changing the tin foil, whoops I mean fuse wire, you lads have to complecate things.

LOL !

damn 3036's !

discrimination is rather poor. put in a 30A 3036 once, unknowing of the dead short on the circuit only to have the BS88 100A DNO blow out lol

oh and good luck getting the fuse carrier out after !

I usually prize it out with a screw driver, no worries
