Hi all,
New to the forum (and electrics behind the surface) so please be gentle. Ive just installed a new switch into an outbuilding adjacent to my indoor bathroom and I'm using the feed from the bathroom fan for the socket (fan vents directly into the roof of the outbuilding so was the easiest way of getting a feed in). I wired up the socket to test and all works fine. The obstacle I have now is that as I've fed from the fan the socket only works when the fan isolator AND the bathroom light are on.
Is there any way I can wire the socket up so it only relies on the fan isolator switch I.e. make the fan isolator independent from the light switch? The fan will be permanently disconnected as we hardly use the downstairs bathroom so the light switch only needs to control the light and the fan isolator only needs to control the outbuilding switch.
Feel free to let me know if I've made any mistakes.
