I was reading some responses from a post from 2014, about the same issue I'm have with a voltage Im getting when I try my 3way switches. Didn't seem to be a real consensus on the issue then. But I do visit here a lot. Now I'm a member and im having this same issue.
The house is from the 60s and I've run new wire to these switches which are also new. But I'm getting 90 volts whenever I switched either switch,any ideas on what to look for or try?
