Thanks for explaining the second method. I opened up my second box, saw only one cable, and figured I was sunk. Most other guys don’t explain the second method.

I’m housesitting at a residence of a friend and as long as I’ve known him, his 3-way light has never worked. While housesitting, I couldn’t stand it! One box had a 3-way and the other had a regular switch. I went out, bought 2 new switches and replaced them, wiring them as per the first method in your video. Works like a charm! I videoed it and have sent it to my friend insisting he show his wife.😊 Thanks!
That is so cool! I bet they were amazed. It’s interesting how are most things are not that complicated if you have a little insight. Congratulations on successfully finishing a project. Good luck with your future endeavors!
@@TheExcellentLaborer ; The wife will be when they get back from Europe. Just sent a video to them. They should get it tomorrow their time. Should be worth a couple of steak dinners! 😁
Your videos are great. You explain much better than most of the electricians on UA-cam. Thanks to your videos, I just wired an entire new house myself and passed inspection. My success is yours as well. You are a truly great teacher!
Congratulations on your success! I like to put as much information in my videos as I can reasonably. I’m thankful for viewers like you that appreciate them. Good luck with your next projects Richard!
I was about to give up on getting 2 switches to work on a single light in an old house (a 12-3 wire was already going between the two switches but one switch was dead). I have a book describing just one method and I've searched the internet for other options. No-go. I was about to give up on this preexisting wire job and just live with one dead switch. Then I found this video, stayed with it to watch your second method, and BINGO! I can't thank you enough. Now we can turn a light on when we come in from the garage without tripping in the dark to get to a light switch. Can't thank you enough!
I’m currently building a tiny house and your videos have taught me so much! I have been able to do all of my own electrical and pass inspection, as well as save me $7000 by following your videos. Thank you so much!
Hey Lisa! Congratulations with passing your inspection. I know how daunting that’s task can be. Thanks for letting me know. Good luck with your tiny house!
@@jeffreyspence2510 we have a 3 way switch for our living room lights. A switch at the back door and one at the front door so you can turn the lights on by either door you come in… personal preference I guess.
@@lisacheek7433 It's more of a safety thing than any thing else. They want a switch to each entrance of a room or stairway or hallway, so that you do not have to stumble through a dark room and trip over a chair and break a leg to turn on a light. In really old houses they would have a light hanging from the ceiling, with the switch right on the socket. Not all codes pertain to shocks or fire hazards. Some are just basic personal safety.
Thank you for adding the 2nd method. I was so frustrated trying to rewire an old 2-way the first way and finding that it did not work because the previous installation was done using the 2nd method. Also, you are very clear and easy to follow. I wish someone like you could teacher in high schools so that students could leave knowing how to fix a number of problems that occur in homes as well as save money on a possible future build.
The reason they do the first method nowadays is because if someone were to change the light switch out with a dimmer later there's a neutral available. Most dimmers afaik require a neutral. Code in my area requires neutrals in all boxes even if they are not connected to anything. Josh is cool.
Thank you Josh so much for your awesome and well explained videos! You saved my from a lot of extra labor while wiring my own house we're building. I thought I was going to have to fish wires through the already sheetrocked wall until I watched the 2nd half of this video. You showed me exactly how to connect my 3 way switch that I had already wired. You explain all the steps better than any other videos I've watched and I appreciate every minute of you're content. Thank you so much man!
I wish all the UA-camrs that are electricians would watch your video’s first and learn how to train diy homeowners next. Great job you made me an expert.
I have watched a lot of videos on how to do this and by far this was the most well explained video I have ever watched. You made it so easy to follow your steps. Kudos to you dude. Thanks for the video!!!!!!!
Been trying to understand a threeway switch connection watching all sorts of videos for a week or two. You explained it better than anyone else ive seen
Thank you for posting this great video. You break it down and make it so simple. I was able to fix a 3 way switch that a supposed licensed electrician did not wire properly. You would make a great instructor/professor. Thank you again!!!!
if you use the white like he did. that is dangerous and can get someone hurt. it shouldn't be use as a traveller. the power may be on the other wire. so now it shows to be neutral. Per code the neutral can not be switched. Travellers have power that alternate between them (i.e. switched)
That helped me figure out my problem, thank you. In my case (35 yr old house), the hot wire from the power source is RED, and on what should have been the secondary switch. This vid and a voltage tester did the trick.
The way you explain things has been such an added value to me remodeling my entire home. Thank you for helping to make all of the jargon far more understandable. Love the content
Thank you for the great tutorial, straight to the point and easy to follow. My house doesn't have a 3-way switch for the kitchen light, so I am planning to add it for convenience. I believe method 2 will be the setup since my kitchen light is set to have this type of wiring.
Josh thanks. Currently remodeling a basement bathroom with a single switch but need to install a three way switch. Your video has cleared up the confusion in this process. Will diffidently watch others as I get further along in the process. Thanks again.
Hey, I was removing an old 3 way switch but after removing it I couldn't understand how it was wired, after I saw your vid it was exactly like the 2nd method you showed and I was able to make sense of it. Thanks alot!
woooohoooo , thank you thank you ,the penny finally dropped for me, i now understand the principle with the 3 core and earth set up..Thank you so much.
Thanks for this video. Never knew how to do electrical work, now I do. I was so scared at first but you make it simple to do. Glad I found this channel.
Thank you so much for this vid. For some reason even after 2 yrs of being an apprentice I haven't been able to wrap my brain around 3 ways. And this has been the most helpful vid I've found. You have made my job easier😁😁😁
As a licensed electrician, I need to tell you as an apprentice, it's OK to use these videos as a minor reference. But keep in mind this guy is not an electrician. You are not allowed to use neutral as a traveller and also he makes a huge mess out of the grounds. He's got basic wiring down ok. But quality of workmanship is TERRIBLE. Just a heads up for you. Anybody can do the wiring, but quality is a whole other ball game.
@@mikemacdonald2032 You sound like the many know-it-all tradesman I've met. He is not using a "neutral" wire as a traveler. It is permitted by code to repurpose a white/gray wire, as long as it's taped or painted to identify it as such. NEC Chapter 2, Article 200.
ANOTHER excellent video. This might help folks grasp the idea of what is happening by showing a whiteboard schematic of the switch terminals and how the current flows (or does not flow) based on the switch position between the hot and neutral incoming power wire. It helped me to understand why certain wires are connected to the common screw of the switch.
This is a perfect video. I was looking for the solution you provided in option 2. All of the videos I found kept showing option 1. Thank you. This solution worked perfectly. Much appreciated.
Your video saved my life, I had an inspection and the inspector told me that it was wired incorrectly, after watching your video I called for another inspection and showed him the video and he was not happy about It but had to pass me.
Josh that was an excellent video about the ever confusing 3 way switches. I have watched youtube vids the past 3 days and this is by far the best explanation how to connect your wiring. I am installing 3 led lights and an exhaust fan in my master bath and need a 3-way system. r Thanks for your time and video very much helped 👍
I follow you closely. you are a real master. Thank you very much for the information you provided. I am also an electrician, but I need more experience and knowledge. There is a saying in our country. "The master promises and does not keep secrets." In other words, he does not want to teach his profession entirely to apprentices. In Europe and America, this is the opposite. All masters make great efforts to perfectly transfer their knowledge to other generations. Thank you very much for the information you provided.

I really appreciate this video. I was able to use your second option to fix an issue with a 3 way switch. One of my lights switches haven’t worked in over three years and I finally decided to do something about it. lol
Great Video my FRIEND! I was able to wire the kid's playhouse with 4 outlets, 2 three way switches and a regular switch with the help of your videos! Keep up the good work!
I’m so glad I could help you. I know they can be complicated if you don’t have experience with them. Good luck with all of your projects and thanks for watching!

Hey Patrick! I appreciate you watching my videos. Sounds like you are a go-getter. I love building houses and showing people what I am doing as I go. Take care!
I enjoyed this video even more so than several others as I am about to be wiring a 3 way for my brother in the in law quarters home for the living room by the entry and the other side at the Garage entry. So Thank you very helpful I thought I had a fair Grip on it anyways but this video seals the deal for me.
Your videos are very informative really appreciate your time, I also like your video editing, fast forwarding etc not like some others they are so drawn-out and becomes boring and frustrating to watch. Your systems and products are different to my country NZ but basics are the same thank you again can't wait for the garage build cheers
Thank you sir, I had my new project all prepped and wired just needed a little reassurance in doing it the second way. My new man cave is fully lit up, now to decide warm semi warm or white for luminosity lol
You know what??? I always wondered how it's works .until now....Thank you very much. This lesson is pure gold to me ( my Christmas gift from you ). Have a wonderful holidays. .. thanks again bye....
I must say, I like how everything is explained in these videos. Very clear. I'm definitely going to keep checking your other videos. Now, one thing I would suggest (just an opinion) is for any installer to double check the power going into the cables even after you turn off the breakers. Remember, safety first brother. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your knowledge.
this is super helpful, I'm certain your channel will surpass 1 million subscribers soon after you cross the 100k sub count. there isn't any other youtuber that describes work as easy as you. you could show this video to children and they'll understand.
Great, informative video! The only thing I don't like in this video are those copper crimp sleeves you used on your grounds. They don't seem like they bond the two wires together very well. Both times you twisted them together, when you cut and folded the tail over, the sleeve slipped back. I would either use the wago connectors or the green wire nuts with the pass through for pig tails.
Always had a problem understanding the three way but I seriously clicked on way you explained it. I really believe I can do this now. If only I seen this earlier. Thanks
Great. Now a question for you. In an installed and wall blind situation (House where you don't know which wire is which) How can you identify, of the two 3 ways switches, which one gets direct load brought in from the circuit and which switch is the one that carries the black wire to lamp/device?
Your videos are very informative and easy to understand.keep up your hard work in educating people around you and world so that they can save plenty of money and time and manage their own electrical needs . Awesome 💐💐way to go buddy.
Question: I'm wiring my new shop and for my lighting inside and outside I have a 2 gang box with a 3 way switch for the ceiling lights and a Sunsmart All-in-One timer for the outside lights. How would you bundle the wires knowing you have a neutral pigtail coming from the timer. The box has one power source. I watched your video on how to wire A 3-way light switch. In your video the second method is how my setup is. For some reason I'm having a hard time visualizing the proper bundling of wires. Wire size is 14/2 and 14/3. Can you help? By the way, great video Thanks.
I recently watch an old video of you roughing in elec for a bedroom and it was very informative. Do you have another video of all the power coming together at the light switch ?

Method 2 is what I have to use but I have to add constant power for a outside light on second switch how to wire

You’re not even an electrician but you explain everything way better and make it easier to understand than these electrician UA-camrs . Good work.
I have learned the simpler the better and making UA-cam videos for people to follow. Thanks a lot for watching!

Great. Now a question for you. In an installed and wall blind situation (House where you don't know which wire is which) How can you identify, of the two 3 ways switches, which one gets direct load brought in from the circuit and which switch is the one that carries the black wire to lamp/device?
Great help! Far better than the others!
I appreciate that! I’m glad I could help you out 🙏

Great video. Method 2 was just what I needed.
Question: I'm wiring my new shop and for my lighting inside and outside I have a 2 gang box with a 3 way switch for the ceiling lights and a Sunsmart All-in-One timer for the outside lights. How would you bundle the wires knowing you have a neutral pigtail coming from the timer. The box has one power source. I watched your video on how to wire A 3-way light switch. In your video the second method is how my setup is. For some reason I'm having a hard time visualizing the proper bundling of wires. Wire size is 14/2 and 14/3. Can you help? By the way, great video Thanks.
I'm learning a lot thanks to you, thank you for sharing and keep up with the good work.
Thanks Noah! I appreciate you watching. Take care 💪🏻
Thank you so much if it wasn't for you and this video I would've fried a terminal. 😮
