I think I got it now and understood what we need to do. A little curiosity - my electrician is actually color blind so this may explain why it got messed up with the cables..

Kindest regards

I certainly agree... not ideal to be color blind when you are an electrician!
I will do and appreciate your support to nail this issue down!
Thanks Kurt
