how to rewire bathroom pull switch to regular light switch

Nick · 2004-01-19T09:54:38+00:00

I have relocated an existing pull switch to outside its bathroom. NowI want to change it to a 'normal' switch. However, it has more wiresthan terminals in a normal switch. I think I need a special type ofswitch (boiler?), with more terminals. Can anyone advise me whch typeof switch I need and how it should be wired?The existing pull switch has four terminals and an earth terminal. Itis wired;- Earth (which I assume I wire to the new switches metal box)- Red to one terminal- Black to one terminal- Second red shared to two terminals by way of a linkThe switch activates a ceiling light and also a shared extractor fan.Any help would be much appreciated.
