I'm Mike with family handyman and today

we're gonna be talking about how to wire

a three-way switch a 3-way switch is a

little bit more complicated than a

single pole switch but I'm gonna show

you how to make it easy so you can do it

yourself now before digging into any

wires we want to make sure that there's

no power to any of the light switches or

the lights that we're gonna be working

with so find the circuit that those are

on and turn it off now some common

situations where you might find a

three-way switch would be at the bottom

and the top of your stairs or in a space

that has multiple entrances like your

garage inside and outside the garage now

the three-way switches operate one light

so you can turn them on or off from

either location now there's quite a bit

of wires going on here and to avoid any
