    I am swapping a Volex switch for Click switch, on the Volex switch there are 4 live wires
    going to A, B1, A1 and B
    The Click switch contacts are as follows at the top of the swtch there are two contacts for Com 002, at the bottom are 4 contacts L1, L2 and L1 and L2.
    I need to know which corresponds to which, any help would be appreciated

    Can you post a pic? First of all the best thing to do is get a professional to do the work. It is very dangerous. If not please ensure that you isolate the power supply and check with a volt meter that the supply is dead. Please post a pic so I can know what you have at the existing switch.

    Thanks for that, I would have attached pics but there appears to be a restriction preventing
    me from adding attachments

    A=C
    B=C
    A1 =L1
    B1= L1
    commons on volex are marked by single letters the out going sides are marked by a letter and a number
    A is normally the common for a 1gang switch b is 2gang c 3gang etc
