I recently moved into a new house and found a pair of 3-way switches
controlling a hallway light from 2 locations that when one switch is
off the other switch doesn't work and vice versa. The wiring doesn't
resemble anything I've seen before for wiring these types of
switches. Can someone help me straighten this out?

Thank you!


Wires from the Circuit Breaker to First Switch
White -- Spliced to Red on the set of wires going to the second
switch
Black -- Double Screw Side (brass)

Wires from First Switch to Second Switch:
Double Screw Side (black screw) via white wire to Single Screw side
brass screw
Single Screw Side (brass screw) via black wire to Double Screw side
