I installed two 3-way switches and a four-way in the bed room. The problem I am having is that one 3-way and the four-way controls the lights well. The other 3-way you must play with to get the light to turn on. I have changed the traveler on the slow switch and it still not working properly.
Any help anyone could give a jack leg wire man.

You say "play with" and "slow". I am not sure what you mean by that.
You need to be more specific.
Could it be a bad switch?
*Sounds to me like Bill has it nailed -- the "slow" three way is bad. If the light turns off and on at all three switches, you have it wired right. Just replace that one switch. -- J.S.
*Thanks guys, I will try a new switch.
