Switch is switch

Question

The issue concerns 2 bedrooms that operate on different switches, obviously, but have different results than expected.
The combinations are as follows:
          Switch A            Switch B            Light A         Light B
1:              off                        off                      off                  off
2:             on                        off                      on                  on (dim)
3:             off                        on                      off                  on
4:             on (1st)               on (2nd)            on                  on (turns 
                                                                                          OFF light A)
5:             on (2nd)             on (1st)               off                  on

Sorry, but this is the only way I can explain.
I think a little rewire is called for?

Hi John. Has this always been like this or have you recently changed the light fittings?

Manhar · Answer

As a Electition I think someone has swapped the wires while installing switches so it ain’t a big job just wires needs to be swapped

Mike · Answer

It sounds worse than it probably is probably just one cable wrong just needs disconnecting and belling the cables out to see what does what

Christopher · Answer

No rewire needed John, my guess is that the switch wires and loop have been crossed over somewhere. Very common diy mistake.
