Intermediate switch

[CharlesR]

some photos would help here.

So this cancels out the neutrals . I have two grey and two black wires (one black being the switch wire ). Currently on the switch . I also have One brown feed live , and three red in a choc . Currently , switch live and live feed are in one terminal on the switch , and have tried the other two greys and blacks in various combos . One combo is acceptable but is wrong . On guests post I was wondering if I could crimp two of the reds to switch live and feed , but does the other red fill the place on the switch that was the black switch live . Guest didn’t make clear what he meant about which cables to use for switch live and feed and what to use in the intermediate . The commons are linked in a choc block on all three switches , but the two intermediates there is something simple just off .
Have a look at what Guest says in his post . I thought yes , that makes sense but what wires goes in the switch and what goes with switch live and live feed ? I know many will say get a spark , but want to improve my knowledge , if only for myself . Nothing has gone bang yet and the main board hasn’t kicked out once . I know my limits . I’m not a mug with electricity . This is why I am asking .

Sorry mate but learning alone, without a teacher, trying to trace live cables to solve a circuit problem sounds like nothing more than a mug waiting for an accident to happen.

Quite right to mate . ANE across the country are full of mug DIY ers like me joining forums like this . Fact of life I’m afraid . A 13amp plug doesn’t come with a personal teacher , yet millions who don’t know a cable from a bag chips will try and wire it . Let me assure you I am more than aware of my limits and how dangerous a guess can be . Guest’s post I found to be an interesting angle to consider , repeat consider . I just wondered if
others on the forum had tried this wiring angle, wiser heads of course , for me to consider in reading their experience.
All knowledge online shows Switch Live and
feed starting at the first switch . My spark long ago , for some reason , put it at the first
intermediate. I am trying to understand my options and if others have had a similar experience with this . Cheers guys
