Why ever not ??????Well he's not going to be back anytime soon...
Well go back and do it, what about L-N? Continuity of all conductors? These are basic tests that should take about a hour to carry out.
please don't tell me you have been to have a look and decided you need to ask on here as you don't know what you are doing?
Why ever not ??????
I used the time I had available to ascertain that the switch was faulty, megger the circuit LN to E and look at the wiring in the loft Why look at the wiring when testing it with the proper test equipment will tell you all you need to know about it?. I couldn’t replace the pull-switch as I didn’t have one in the van.
Rather than charge the customer for an hour’s worth of testing, leave him with a faulty switch anyway, and make myself late for my remaining jobs that day so why didnt you say you were busy and available another time when you wouldnt be rushed? , the sensible course of action appeared to be to go back when I had more time, a replacement switch, and the thoughts of the helpful people of this forum. Its only helpful when you can supply all the test results, not just a quick LN-E IR test.
If you don’t think that was the sensible course of action then it would be useful to know why.
It would be even more useful if someone could help with the queries in my original post. You will recieve help, but only once you have done all the testing as previoulsy stated.
Well for whatever reason he couldn't carry out further investigations. Dillb jumping down his throat does no favours for other people looking for advice on the forum ... It just makes people feel uncomfortable and go elsewhere,
I also thought that, given the unusual and slightly amusing nature of the fault, people might find it interesting and perhaps even a little fun to venture ideas as to why a light switch would cause a shower pump to start up.
