Switch Wiring Diagram Schematic. The wiring diagram further down depicts another choice of wiring method. Wire a switched outlet.
By looking at the moving 3 way switch above the hot black wire coming from the power source will always attach to the common screw on the 1st switch in the circuit. Wire a switched outlet. The schematic diagram below shows how all four way switches are wired.
By looking at the moving 3 way switch above the hot black wire coming from the power source will always attach to the common screw on the 1st switch in the circuit.
