Hi all.
I have 3 switches running one light in one part of my house, and the way it is wired, no matter what the state of the 3 switches, when I flip a switch, I get the opposite of current state (off to on or on to off).
I tried to replicate this wiring setup for a hallway today, and I got a different result. I'm attaching a diagram I found online and followed faithfully.
This setup uses two three-way switches and one 4-way switch, starts with power going to light, then to 3-way switch, then to 4-way switch, and terminating on the second 3-way switch.
Here is the behavior I'm seeing. When the 4-way switch is in the on position, the other two switches behave as expected. When the 4-way switch is in the off position, the light is off period.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
