Re: 3 wayswitches
NO MATTER HOW IT'S WIRED,, ( i know of 6 leagle ways )<br /><br /> the hot wire ( feed ) MUST go to the common/point/different color screw on the switch..<br /><br />an the other switch,, MUST have the switch leg/wire to lite go to the other common/point/different color screw on the other switch.. <br /><br />NO EXCEPTIONS.. <br /><br />the other 2 wires are 'travelers' from the other 2 screws on the switch .. from switch to switch..<br /><br />sometimes there is a white wire,, wire nutted/spliced in the switch box.. thats the neutral wire eventually getting to the lite .. to complete the circut..<br /><br />like i said,, i know of 6 different ways an wiring scemes to achive this.. but it still boils down to what i said above..
