Guys please let me know how to rewire the lights in my livingroom.
1 ceiling light and 2 wall lights working of 2 seperate 3 gang switches.
I can get the ceiling light on & of using both switches but the wall lights wont work either way.
CAN SOMEONE GET ME A DIAGRAM ON HOW THE SWITCHES SHOULD BE WIRED.

Thanks for any help.

What switch works what light?
Do two switches control one light?
3 gang means single pole double throw (post a switch photo).

You have questions, we have . . .answers. . .?
