Well, I've not used one, so I'm guessing based solely on electronic logic. Hopefully, if I'm wrong, someone will correct me. 1) If the cable was miswired by crossing two cables, then I'd expect the lights at one end, most probably the remote end, to light in the wrong order. 2) If you have a short at one end, I'd expect two lights to be on at the same time at least at that end, probably at both. 3) If you have an open circuit, I'd expect the corresponding light at one end or the other to fail to light. But let's see if anyone can confirm what actually happens based on actual experience. -- Fake news kills! I may be contacted via the contact address given on my website: www.macfh.co.uk
