I recently built an addition on a ole barn for my customer to store his sizeable collection of lawn equipment. The shed has 2 flourescent lights in it controlled from a three way switch(one in the barn one by the shed door. Now I am not an electrician but I have done a fair amount of wiring. After rewiring the switch 3 times from square 1 and even returning to my old “how to” wiring book with diagrams, I still have the same problem. I can turn the light on form the first position and off from the second but I cannot then turn it back on from position 1. I’m sure I’ve done something wrong but I can’t figure out what it is. Anyone have some ideas on where to look for my mistake? I’m stumped.
