Is there a way to wire a light switch with a s Terminal?

There are two wiring options for this: More advanced dimmer switches like Varilight Eclique and Lightwave RF have an S terminal instead. The S terminal can only be linked up to a corresponding slave and won’t work with an ordinary two way switch. Here is an image of a Lightwave RF dimmer switch shown from behind:

What’s the difference between a live wire and a L2 wire?

The common is for the live wire that supplies the input voltage to the switch. The other terminal is marked as L1 and is the output to the light fixture. When you’re wiring decorative light switches such as chrome or stainless steel etc, you’ll find that the switch will also have an L2 terminal which means it’s a two way switch.

Where does the other end of the wire go?

And probably stainless steel mounting hardware. Since the wire disappears into a harness about 10″ up, can anyone tell me where the other end of this wire goes, whether it goes to a single point or if it branches off to multiple components, and the amp rating of the fuse?

Alternatively, apply solder to stranded wire. An in-line screw terminal connection box for joining mains leads.

Is there a fuse on the positive battery terminal?

In addition to the larger 8ga wire leading from the positive battery terminal, there is a secondary wire, maybe 16ga, with a fuse connected to it. I found that the end of the wire had turned turquoise with the copper corroding, until the wire was no more.
