Socket not working anymore.

[RDB85]

So last night I noticed that the Socket behind the TV was not working. Plugged in my Kewtech plug tester and nothing. So turned off the MCB for the downstairs sockets. Undone the Socket and its been spurred using new colours from the 13A FCU. Changed the 13A fuse in the FCU, checked the cables and nothing seems out of the ordinary.

There is a socket below that which is wired in Old Colours, which has been there forever. I am just wondering if there is an issue with the FCU, or the wiring itself.

Screwed it all back and then turned the MCB back on. Our house is currently wired in Old Colours, with a Square D CCU. Anyway plugged my socket tester in and again nothing. Would anyone have any ideas what it could be?

Is there any test equipment I could buy to allow me to do some testing, other than a Test Metre as i don't have a lot of money at the moment.

Where does the FCU wire to?

Ok. Pete beat me to it. And his is better English and more understandable...

The FCU is for an outside light. But the switch is broke. So I can’t turn it on to see if there is power going to it.

I may buy a new switch. Then see what happens with the new fcu in place.

That's different information from your opening post, it intimates that the faulty socket us fed from the FCU! Start again shall we? where is the faulty socket outlet fed from?

I’m just adding more information. To my original post. The socket is fed from the FCU. The FCU is for an outside light.

Hi mate.
Ok, the bust socket is fed from the FCU. Where does the FCU get it's feed from?

 

[telectrix]

if you are south side of the Pool and stuck, give me a shout. £60 call-out + £8 toll Mersey Bridge.

You could get a cheap digital meter.
So you are an electrical trainee?

I will have a look. As the nearest socket is below it wired in old colours.
