[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 422477, member: 6969"] Right you have got your wires well mixed up. The original dimmer had 2 wires in it, and it should only have 2 wires in it now, but I see it has 3. So the original dimmer should have the brown link wire and one of the black wires. That is ALL. The dimmer that has replaced the switch, also only needs 2 connections. I don't know how the terminals are marked but the common should have the brown link wire and the other black both in the SAME terminal. It should also have oone of the 2 yellow wires. The other yellow wire is for the circuit that is no longer in use and should just be insulated and not used. You might have to experiment to determine which is the in use and the spare yellow wire as that information has been lost. [/QUOTE]
