Wire came loose from 3 way light switch Discussion ThreadWire came loose from 3 way light switch Electrical Advice
Hi, looking for advice on wiring on a 3 switch light One turns light on outside front door, second one for light in bottom hall and third is for light in hall at top of the stairway.
Before decorating the switch was slackened off for painting around. Unfortunately a brown live wire and a yellow wire have come out of the terminals as switch came out of casing.
I believe the white wire is for the outside litght.
The top terminals read Common - way 1 - way 2 - Common
Bottom terminal reads Way 1 - way 2 - Common - way 1 - way
If anyone can suggest which terminal they have come out off I would be very grateful
