Got a service call the other day. Lady calls and said her husband had replaced a faulty three way switch but light still did not work. So he replaces the one on the other end. Guess what, it still doesn’t work, will I come and fix it. I pull the first switch and the feed wire is connected to one of the traveler terminals. Reversed this, put switch back in box. Light don’t work. Went to the other end it gets worse. Travelers connected to correct terminals but wire to light connected to switch grounding terminal! Get everything straightened out, collect my service call and leave. 20 minutes and everybody’s happy. Nice to get an easy one once in a while.
