Hey All,

I have a room I can enter from two different doors. Each has a rocker
type switch on the wall. The lights are flouresant tubes. Suddenly
one of the switches needed to always be in the down position in order
for the lights to have a chance of going on while using the other
switch. If this particular switch was not in the down position, then

What about the other switch B? Didn't it have to be in a particular
position also? Because if switch A stays in one position, only one of
the two positions for B will be "on". How did you know which switch
was the problem?

the lights would always be off no matter what I do to the other
switch. I went to Home Depot and changed out both switches. It
fixed the problem completely for about 2-3 days.. Suddenly the same
problem is occurring again (now with the new rocker 3-way switches).
How could this be? Anyone have any idea what is going on here and
how to fix this problem?

Thanks a bunch for the help!
