Tried to replace my old 4 way switch because it didn't work , thinking because was old ... it didn't work when I bought a house, so I get used to it. Run the wires like it was on old one - new switch didn't make a difference. Spent a few hours yesterday in frustration and gave up. Today I find this video, exactly configuration I have, ignored what I've written from old switch and followed your video. IT WORKS now. All three switches control the lights, I can turn them on and off from all three! Damn, I can't thank you enough, man. You, sir made my day!

[@kensteiner1149]

I appreciate how he explains everything, takes his time to make sure we can see everything he is doing, and breaks everything down in simplified terms and explains why he is doing what he's doing. As a retired teacher, I really appreciate his ability and patience to teach us. Thank you Ken S from Ohio

You are the best electrician on the internet, very useful video, I had a friend who couldn't figure this out a while back and he had to call a electrian, I just sent him this video and now he knows what he need to do if should ever have to a 4-way switch setup in the future.

Exactly this. Me too, I’m 25 though lol

[@ginakerry2588]

Running these switch sets is sometimes a mind bender. I would say at least 10% of the 4 way setups I've run into are WRONG. Actually, HALF of the apartments I've rented! (it's fixed when I leave..your welcome). A typical symptom of incorrect wiring...you turn the light off at switch B and the light won't turn on again at switch A or C until you get switch B on again. This kind of defeats the purpose. There are many situations you will find where Three 3-way switches have been used and that will NEVER work correctly. I find it a true nuisance. But when it's right and all the switches work as shown in the video, it's nirvana!

[@fiend4mojitos]

A picture - or video in this case is worth a thousand words. Going from a toggle 4 way switch to the Decora 4 way switch, I discovered via this video the wiring pattern is different ( toggle has 2 black on one side of the switch and the 2 red on the other.). It drove me nuts. Thanks.

[@SparkyChannel]

My pleasure, thanks!

[@davidbarham9113]

Thank you Bill for a very informative video. Your recommendation is right on mark to keep a standard installation pattern for the traveler wires. As a non-professional DIYer, whenever I need a "how to" or refresher instructional video I always refer to your KZbin channel. I like the way you seem to keep up with the latest tools and methods for electrical work. I have purchased many Klein tools and other products through the links that you provide.

[@salvationzone9532]

@@SparkyChannel Hi Sparky. Do you have information on how to wire a four way switch with the power source coming into the 4way box first then the four way branches out to the other two 3way switches. The light power would also come from the 4way switch box. I can find any information except for this following link. What I have is at the top of the stairs I'll use a four way switch and then down the hall a 3way switch and then up another flight of stairs to another 3way switch. The power that I have starts at the 4way switch box which is in the middle of the 3way switches and I also need the 3way at the top of the other set of stairs to be a dimmer switch. If you can direct me to a source where I can find correct information on this set up or is this link here accurate? diy.stackexchange.com/questions/85204/can-i-bring-power-to-the-4-way-switch

I never got why people use 12awg in residential applications. Unless obviously you have a big load. Save some money and just use 14awg for lighting and some outlets (per code of course)

I don't mind spending a little more and getting greater capacity. Then if someone adds on to the circuit later on the circuit should be able to handle some extra load.

[@funnyfarm5555]

Sparky: thought this wiring setup would make a great lesson in box fill calculations since there is soooo many wires. :) Lets keep everyone safe! Great video. I learned 3 and 4 way switching from a handbook I got from Sears decades ago; plus I drew up some of my own diagrams before I started wiring my new garage. Really like your red= top, black= bottom style. I wired my barn myself from the sub panel to all 800' of wire to lights controlled by 9 switches. The inspector asked who wired it. I said, I did and then he complemented me on a great job. When you walk in the two front side rolling doors you cannot see any of the wiring except conduit to hay loft. and conduit coming down to receptacles at end of barn. All wiring travels through barn at 10 1/2' so horses could not access. Also rewired two other houses I lived in plus a remodel on the one we live in now. Learned basic electrical wiring from my dad starting at about 8 years old.

[@MegaLinkCraft]

So grateful that you made this tutorial video explaining so well how to wire A 4 way system switches. You make it look so easy . The key doing an already wired job..either to replace the switches or adding dimmers .. it is to open up completely the Wires and read what is the incoming hot wire and wich ones are the travelers. And finally at the end identified the 12- 2 wire to the lights. Thanks a lot . It really helps people like me that enjoy doing electrical work.

Very clear and easy to grasp, thank you. Relay-switched lamps is the new kid-on-the-block in Switzerland and Germany. Only 230V AC power to the lamp, 12 V DC two-wire cable to the switches from the sub-panel with a relay that switches the power to the lamp(s). 2 or any amount of extra switches makes no difference in the wiring, very simple to expand. And less EMF's in the house as a bonus.

Thanks to your carefully dumbing this down, I now understand the 4-way circuit wiring. Thank you ! I had a bad 4-way Leviton switch to start........but I learned a great lesson on "traveler wires" that has been.....until your video.....obfuscating. I have watched a few other KZbin on this but it has never clicked. Thanks to your convention of "red wire on top always......I discovered that the switches were not working because I mixed up the red and black wires on the brass screws, i.e., I had one reversed......which created a nightmare of one switch only working when another switch had to be in the ON position. Less of a mystery now. Thank you. I have just subscribed to you. Be Safe !

EXTREMELY Helpful! While I am a low voltage guy and would NEVER touch electrical stuff at a customers home I do like to understand things and do it in my own home. Im putting in smart switches now where I have one switch that carries the load and the others simply need neutral, ground and power to speak zigbee back to the main switch. Hopefully I understand this enough now to use the one traveler Ill need and cap the other one off.

I'm from UK, Wales and now I know how to wire, three way, four way switching in the USA. I a handy man in the UK. So now I can be useful in the USA. In the UK the traveler wires in-between the three way switches connecting the intermediate switch is known as strappers in the UK. 😳

I recently replaced a 4-way system with new switches and wall plates - this system had 4 switch locations, and those 4 single switches were located across 3-gang, 2-gang, 4-gang and 2-gang boxes. I switched off the breaker and went to work - but luckily I double-checked the circuit with my non-contact voltage tester. I got a live reading, but from the adjacent switch, which was part of a different circuit! Needless to say, lesson learned...check every switch in the box you are working in!

[@MrTooTechnical]

great vid. remember to advise your viewers that if they are going to use backwire (clamp-style) connections, that after they make the connection, they have to test. Literally pull on the connection to make sure the wire dont come out. It has happened to me where i didnt tighten the clamp tight enough and connection was loose. You may want to recommend the loop connection around the screw terminals for safety. lates

[@wim0104]

with the loop connection you have to take care just the same: sure, it won't fall out, but a bad connection will still melt the switch down. You really have to crank down on 12AWG, or it will work itself loose when you push the switch into the outlet box.

[@SparkyChannel]

Yes, I think the key to that is not getting any insulation under the terminal. It is a good idea to tug on the wire for a check. Have a great weekend!

[@SparkyChannel]

@@wim0104 Hi wim0104, you make a good point. Loose wires cause fires!

[@aliso-pv7ll]

Bill, I have mental satisfaction doing control wiring. Following the logic function of controls can be easily transferred to other needs. For example, I have transferred control wiring experience to repairing my Amana electric dryer. I take DPDT N/O N/C 24vac relay and make a 4 way switch. Then I take 2 SPST 24vac relays and wire a control system, as in this video. When working with DC voltage and I easily need to reverse polarity I use a four way switch. Currently I am have a mental candy working with star delta motor starter. Thanks again for this and other fine information.

I think a lot of us sparkies think alike on these issues. We like things to stay organized, logical, as simple as possible and repeatable. Good job on the Amana and the control wiring!

For now, 3-way switches are locked and loaded! A electrical shop owner told me a long time ago that ‘doing’ is knowing. Most book 📚 learned graduates 🎓 were not able to wire 3-way switches as a test to be hired. I explained how they were wired and he offered me a position as a helper to proceed to being a licensed electrical worker. I passed as I am a CDL-class A Haz-Mat driver with tankers endorsement. I’ve always thought ‘what if’. 🤔

In europe we do almost the same wiring but we use the ground wire as a main wire since most of our switches dont use groud so your black is our phase wire your white wire is our blue wire and your ground naked wire is our yellow and green wire so instead of getting another cable with 4 wires we just use the ground wire. But its wonderful seeing and learning how other countries do wirings
