Help Please! Confused

[joddy]

have a two way light, i am trying to replace one of the switches as the switch will not physically work, the wiring is confusing me because the fitting insructions are different so i'll show you a pic...

obviousley there earthing wires to both back boxes

the light and switch both worked before also

i just need to know which wires go where in the new switch

thank you very much in advance.

Hello, If i can remember correctly your old switches look like MK. Anyway...

Looking at the pictures it looks like the blue wire is the one you need to connect to the common.

L1 Red/red
L2 Yellow/red

Give it ago should work fine!

The conenction labeled com on the new switch corresponds to the middle conenction (with the blue wire) on the old switch, for the other two, as long as you keep the wires paired up as they are now, it doesn't matter which connection each pair goes in
