What's wrong with the diagram? Nothing. :happyno: Why doesn't it work? Several possibilities come to mind:
  • It is not, in fact, wired that way.
  • One of the switches is broken.
  • One of the lights is broken.
  • A connection is loose.

blew a switch - existing metal box - wire good no scars - but neutral sparked.
Suspect water in switch leg - this is an outside switch but covered by carport.
thanks
just puzzled and do not want to repull switch leg... zero access and no money in job to spend on repairs.
