[QUOTE="Charles R, post: 494909, member: 32588"] The electrician who installed it worked on it many years ago, it was a major build. We don't live in the house, its a second home. Its not something you notice at once because if that light switch is set one way , the actual switch, then all the lights at the bottom and on the landing work fine. Yes I do understand the above diagram but mine has single pole at the bottom of the stairs, then intermediate, on the landing at the top, then another intermediate switch a metre opposite before you enter a bedroom. I can operate the lights fine with this switch, on and off. And if I press the switch down I can operate the other switches to turn lights on and off. BUT, if I turn the switch up and try use the other switches they don't work. Only when the switch is pressed down do the other lights work. Thanks anyway, I will get someone in to look at it.
