Learning to wire........

[Linkyplumb]

It is. Very easy to do, you just need the confidence. If you can wire a full system and understand how it works, then you will have no trouble with fault finding.

What he said^^

Until you come across one like I did last week, all wired in singles,all the same colour, and all into choccy blocks. Had to "ring out" all the cables to see what was what :-(

Draw the wiring diagrams out from memory.

you'll cry at first but when you can do it off the top of your head it will be second nature at work.

Cheers guys, some good advice there

Don't draw it to the std honeywell drawing as very few are wired like that. Most new builds of the past 20 30 years or so will have been wired by sparks who will have a pile of 3 cores run here there and everywhere and stuck in a bit of strip. Follow the flashing lines on the link i gave above and learn what switches what and when..

Riley, When you did the Honeywell course, did they give you the sheets that you filled in yourself, to show s and y plans?

Pm me your email, and I will scan them over to you, this evening. Very basic , but VERY easy to fault find with them.

But the principle od what goes where is still there.
I've only ever used my own wiring diagrams i made....
Minus the w plan.
