We changed out the 3 switches in our hallway with a 4way in the middle and 3ways on the ends and it was working. Now we are trying to replace the fixture (wiring the same way as the old one) and it's not working. I have a diagram for the 4way setup, but we don't have enough wires to set it up that way. Help!

You need to provide us with all the wires in all the switchs and the fixture for us to help.

So far so good

Replacing the fixture is the easiest part. You went astray in part one, It was not working as it should. Here is a short tutorial:

Maybe the new fixture itself was defective.

When you connect the black and white wires of the fixture the same way as the black and white wires of the old fixture, the new fixture should work for better or worse the same way.

Or maybe you took apart more wire nuts than necessary and didn't put it back together properly.

The ground wire (bare wire) must not be used as "an extra conductor". All ground wires are tied together wherever they come together with a pigtail or long end attached to the outlet box (light box, etc.) if metal and one attached to the framework of the fixture itself, and not to the white (neutral) wire(s).

Post us a diagram of what you now have.
