Multiway switching is used when you want to be able to turn on or off a load such as a light from multiple locations. Three way (3-way) and four way (4-way) switches fall under the category of multiway switching.

Multiway switching can be confusing. This is mainly due to historical wiring practices where a single multi wire cables might be pulled to the switch location from a light receptacle or where a neutral wire was not required in all boxes. In older installations, you can run into lots of variation. When I run into confusion associated with multi way switches, I find it really invaluable to diagram out the switches, the cables, the boxes, and how they need to be connected. I hope my printable will help you if you run into a confusing situation with multi way switching.

Although wiring household circuits can be hazardous, I encourage you to understand multiway switching. Reach out to a qualified electrician where you have doubts.
