Light switch not working. Light permanently on

[newton1]

Hi all,

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.

I have installed a new light and now it stays permanently on. I have removed the switch and even if the cables are seperated the light remains on. I have used a continuity tester and one of the cables leads to the junction but the other does not. It is old wiring and there are green red and black wires coming from the ceiling into the junction. Any ideas?

You are out of your depth with this simple problem, stay away from electrics and get some in who knows what they are doing.
