„h Get a piece of paper and draw a diagram. Here¡¦s what you do:
„h Draw three little circles, representing the three connections on a three way switch. Position them vertically one above the other on the paper.
„h Draw three more posts to the right of the first switch and on the same plane.
„h The center post on one of the switches is where you wire the hot wire (110 volts)
„h The Center post on the other switch is where you connect the wire going to the light.
„h Connect a wire from the upper post on the left switch to the upper post on the right switch.
„h Connect a wire from the lower post on the on the left switch and run it to the lower post on the right switch.
„h Run the neutral wire to the other side of the light.
