who knows electrical wiring? - Page 2

If the switches are wired properly, one (or more) of them could have gone bad in the line.

You have some decent links, just follow the directions and if all else fails new switches are cheep enough. Throw some replacements in and wire properly to get them going.

ALWAYS turn the breaker off. It's a lot easier than arc flash welding pliers together.

10 years later, I still haven't worked out why.

I've still got push-button switches in mine. Kind of neat.

If I ever get him, he's going to have a boot in his arse.

You probably still have knob and tube wiring too.

I'd bet asbestos covered wires too!
