Replacing 3-way switches

When replacing a 3-way switch, move the wires from the old switch to the new switch one at a time. This makes it easier to get them in the right place. Unlike a single pole switch, if any of the wires on a 3-way are reversed, the switches won´t work correctly.

If the switches already work, but were theoretically wired "wrong", this method works great. The new switches will work!
