This was the RIGHT way to teach this, i fixed 3 in one day thanks to this video and advice to just pull all the wires out and start marking them. One thing I don't agree with you about ---because of the cost - - is your recommendation to buy that expensive "Hot" detector pen. Instead, just use a Multimeter set on the 200 AC voltage detection setting, and affix one lead on ground wire - while you touch the other lead on all the black wires till you find power coming through. Thats LINE. No need to buy an expensive pen to use once in your lifetime.

Nice step-by-step video. 41 years ago, an electrician taught me to find the line wire as you did with a meter or now a non-voltage tester. Here is the difference at this point... install the load wire to the load side of the switch the the two travelers, one each to each screw on the switch. With the other wires separated apart in the other box, now turn on the power and use a meter, one lead to ground and then touch the other lead to each of the wires one at a time while turning on and off the other line switch to find the two traveler wires with the remaining black wire being the load wire. You can do this test quicker by using a non-voltage tester to get the same results.

This is the ONLY and PROPER procedure for determining the travelers, known as a "loop back" as well as the line and load. There are several other internet methods that I have seen, all of which recommend energizing the circuit a 2nd time after jumpering particular conductors. Doing so adds a 2nd layer of danger, were the user to inadvertently become part of that path.

Thank you! I bought a townhome that had a 3 way light switch on one end that someone hooked up mistakenly a single pole light switch on the other side! On the 3-way outlet side one of the wires was totally corroded! I watched some of your videos and was able to take all the wires out, use the voltage meter to see which one was "hot," and then I got a continuity tester and tested to see which were the traveler wires on the other end. I replaced both the switches and then like magic it works! I have never worked with electricity before but was able to learn to do this repair watching yours and several other videos. Super exciting!

No doubt the best electrical teacher anywhere. Just so well explained. If you did not have a multimeter and you identified the line wire. The traveler wires should be easy to identify by looking into box and seeing that the red traveller wire has associated with it a black traveler wire that way you can through process of elimination identify the black load wire.

I also watch all of your "Can you find the code violations" video quizzes frequently to keep sharp so I am starting to be conditioned to looking for things as I go (thanks for that as well). I did spot a discrepancy in this video. You have the shepherd's hook on the left switch mounted CCW on the ground terminal screw. Not a code violation and definitely not a problem for the circuit. I just wanted to share with you how keen many of us have become to minding the details in each and every project. Thank you for that! Looking forward to the next lesson, Sparky :)

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH MY ANGEL!! I have never done anything with electrical switches or outlets (afraid to but have a problem and no money or anyone else to help me). I have had so much trouble and pretty serious and dangerous situtions and recently an electrical business came in and rewired most of my small old 1970 trailer by running wires thru conduit and the metal boxes that stick out from the wall (they could not access underneath or thru the walls) and there have been a lot of problems since then and there is a dispute between us so they are not coming back to fix what needs fixing and so far I still owe them a lot of money....with that being said... they put in a 3- way switch for a kitchen ceiling light and well within a month increasingly I would try to turn off the light and it would pop back on right away and it takes a lot time of continuous hitting the switch with different timing to make it go off and stay off (it is the rectangular one with the square at the top and bottom to operate it and sorry I don't know all the proper terms), anyway, I am hoping it is a simple fix that I can do like what you showed here. Have ANY others ideas or suggestions if I am wrong, I would really appreciate them. THANK YOU! LOVE HOW YOU SHOW AND EXPLAIN AND MAKE IT CLEAR AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND!!

Thank you so much for this tutorial. The best advice you gave was to just fix it and not try to figure out what's wrong. I fixed a decades old mis-wiring that irritated me for the longest time. In my case, not only was it wired wrong. The line wire was reversed with the white carrying the hot and the black as common. I couldn't reverse it at the source so I just labeled it clearly.

Another problem seen with 3 way circuits is that installers run 12/2 with ground instead of 12/3 for the travellers and pick up a neutral on the load end from another circuit in a ganged switch. This causes hot neutral problems when working on either of the two circuits. The tell-tale after drywall is up (usually during a reno or addition) is the capped neutral in the line entry side switch. Your video is quite clear and makes sense since you've labelled the romex with a Sharpie. It would have made us work harder to gain a cognitive understanding if we couldn't see the wiring, and drywall was installed; as would be the case on a service call, or punchlist, and we had to do a schematic circuit analysis. It could be simply my learning style or experience level. I work on much more complex systems (I'm an elevator repairman) and I need to see a schematic first. Just Food for thought. Thank you for your informative videos! Great channel!!

Amazing explanation. I personally always flip the travelers on one of the switches. I like both switches down or both switches up when the light is off; and when the light is on the two switches will be opposite.

@@SparkyChannel Good day Sir. I frequently look at videos and always learned something new. One question I would appreciate if you could tell me how do you do the continuity test with a multimeter if the light switches were 15 feet apart ?
