I'm preparing to wire a circuit with two three-way switches. One three way switch is in the garage and one is in the house. Both the power and the light fixture are in the garage; the switch in the house will be a switch leg only.
Because the light fixture being controlled by these switches is not visible from inside the house, I'm using a combination switch that includes a pilot light.
As many of you know, wiring a three-way switch with a pilot light is a tricky business - more complicated than just wiring two three-way switches to control a light fixture. I've got a roll of 14-4 (yes, 4-conductor) wire ready...
Neither of the two books I have on electrical wiring ("Wiring Simplified" and "Wiring 1-2-3") provides a wiring diagram for this circuit. I've been searching the internet for a wiring diagram that clearly shows how this needs to be done, but haven't come up with anything.
Any pointers or diagrams would be appreciated!
