 Replacement light switch wiring advice please - RichardW
Don't understand what you are trying to do - are you talking about a 3 gang switch (i.e. one with 3 switches on it?) or a 3-way switch (i.e. one which is part of a switch system with 3 switches in it)? Can you post a photo of the wiring in the switch in question, plus info on how it integrates with other switches?

Normally a 2-way switch would have 3 wires - although depending on where the feed and load is wired it may have more. A 3 way intermediate switch needs 4 wires (the other 2 switches which are each end of the circuit only need 3 wires. Or more!
