[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 416964, member: 1408"] Do you have a neon screwdriver ? Can you borrow one ? If you can , take great care and follow this . Seperate the wires . Restore the power . Taking great care, touch nothing with your fingers . Get someone to switch the light switch on & off ...on & off and hold the screwdriver on each black cable until you find one of them is flashing the neon on & off .......note which wire this is. [COLOR=#FF0000][B]Turn off the power .[/B][/COLOR] Mark that wire with some tape . Reconnect fitting by putting the two unmarked blacks together in the N terminal ...and the taped one in the L terminal. All earths ( greens) in the E terminal. Job done. [/QUOTE]
