I've inherited a home with wiring in place but not all connected. I can't locate the original electrician who did the work about 2+ years ago.
I have four switches. Line power goes into switch 1 (a 3-way switch) then over via 3-wire cable to switch 2 which has a feed to 4 can lights (install a 4 way switch?), then a 3-wire cable over to switch 3 (another 4-way switch?) which has another feed to another 4 can lights and yet another 3-wire cable to switch 4. At switch 4 I have two wires back to switch 3. At switch 4 I also have two wires which need constant (UNswitched) power for a stove hood vent feed and an outdoor fixture.
I've drawn several possible wiring diagrams, attached wires in several configurations, and generally spit into the wind for about two weeks.
The only line power I can determine is at switch 1.
After watching many, many UTube videos I found this forum.
Can anyone come up with a workable schematic I can use?
Thank you in advance!!
