[QUOTE="H2O, post: 298104, member: 21281"] Hi, and thanks for the opportunity to ask a question - here goes..... I have a new 45A double pole pull cord switch for an electric shower (cost about a tenner). In order to switch the shower on it's necessary to pull the cord twice - once to "on" - and the shower is not switched on (nor are the neon lights in the switch or shower illuminated) - then I must switch it back to "off", then "on" , at which point everything works. It does this each and every time the shower is used. I am assiming this is a fault,( though someone suggested it is not with some switches).If it is a fault is it the prelude to the switch packing in and should I change it ? It was a titanic battle to get the 10mm cable into the ceiling plasterboard mounting box , though I have taken it off again to check connections. Thanks in advance for any advice. [/QUOTE]
