For more than two switches one or more 4 way switches are added between the 3 way switches. Take the wire that is now connected to the common terminal in the 3 way switch network and splice it to the black wire. In the first position the contacts are connected straight through so that the switch has no effect. The others may also be used as 4 way switches by adding additional units. Please leave a comment i. In this educational video we learn how to wire a 4 way switch system. A 4 way switch has two positions. In position two the switch cross connects the contacts on the left with the contacts on the right in an x connection. Connect the returning travellers from the new switch. Take the existing wires that are now connected to the other 2 traveller terminals and connect them to the in or the.
You can go on to 5 way light switches as well if the area where the light is being installed is very large.
