Electrical advice please. confused light switchesŠ
Hi, and thanks for stopping by,
Let's see if I can define the problem so that it makes sense to both of usŠ My house, built around 1940, has a split entry entrance. Go 8 steps up to the upper floor, or, 8 steps down to the lower floor. The entry landing has one grouping of 4 light switches. 1 to turn on/off the coat closets' light a few feet away. 1 to turn on/off the porch light a few feet away. 1 to turn on/off the entryways' inside light. 1 to turn on/off the light at the bottom of the lower floors' stairs. At the top of the stairway there is a group of 2 light switches: 1 to turn on/off the entryways' light (1 to turn on/off the upper floors' hallways' light.) At the bottom of the stairway there is a group of 2 light switches. 1 to turn on/off the light at the bottom of the lower floors' stairs. (1 to turn on/off the lower floor hallway light.) Betcha you can guess what the approaching question is. :-) How in the world do I get them to all work as they should all at the same time? (For example, the lower floor landing light turns on/off only if the coat closet light (which doesn't work btw, is set to off...) Any and all helpful advice will be cherished. Thank you. Mike |
