What effect will occur if the intermediate switch is replaced by a double pole switch?
The circuit will not work. In a three way lighting circuit system the middle switch needs to cross the traveller wires to be effective. A double pole switch in the circuit will just open both traveller wires and disrupt the current flow in both wires. No current flow, no lights.

When a three light circuit is connected in series with 2 6V batteries what is the voltage across each of the lights?
If a three light circuit is connected in series with two 6V batteries, and the three lights are identical, the voltage across each of the lights is 12V divided by 3, or 4V.
What are three ways in which a circuit can become an open circuit?
Three ways a circuit can be made to be open are, blown fuse, open switch and open contact.
What is an open circuit fault?
An open circuit is a kind of electric circuit in which the path that the electrons follow cannot be completed because of an open gap that they cannot flow through.An open circuit is a circuit where the load resistance has been removed and replaced with an open, meaning there is no electrical connection between the two sides of the circuit.
Do ceiling fans have timers that turn the lights off after a certain period of time?
Not usually, The light would have had to been wired with a three wire from the switch to the fan. One circuit to control the fan and the other switch to control the light. If this is your situation then all you will have to do is change the light switch to a timer and that will do what you want.
Why would your dashboard lights and tailights and parking lights not work but your headlights and brake lights all work fine Fuses are all good and dimmer switch is ok as well?
Your non-working instrument panel lights, tailights, and parking lights have ONE thing in common, they are controlled by the same switch which controls the headlights. The working brake lights do not even figure in the analysis as they are on a totally different circuit from ALL of those other lights. The headlights, tailights, and parking lights ARE on the same circuit, AND are controlled by different sets of contact points inside of the "headlight" switch. Although there may be more, I can only think of three causes for the symptoms you describe. 1. A loose, or disconnected wire or harness involving the circuit for those lights. 2. Corroded contact points within a connector in that circuit. 3. A defect [probably overheated, "cooked"] in the contact points for those lights INSIDE the headlight switch. I suspect that 3 is the cause, but due to cost of a headlight switch, and the difficulty in changing it, it would be a good idea to check out 1 and 2 first, as those problems do not generally require the replacement of any parts, only disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly. I suggest you eleminate numbers 1 and 2 first, then if that does not correct the problem, consider replacing the headlight switch.
What is a 3 way switch?
A three way switch is a switch that is used in a lighting circuit that allows the light fixture to be turned on from three separate locations within the building. In electrical terminology this switch is also referred to as a SPST, Single Pole Single Throw switch. The switch has three individual terminals of which two are always connected. These switches are usually located at the far extremes of the circuit with an intermediate switch between them. This intermediate switch is referred to an a four way switch.

Where is the switch that activates the back-up lights on a 1996 Grand Cherokee?
It is a three wire switch on the driver side of the transmission.
How do you use a slide switch with three connecters?
Answering the LITERAL question, generally slide switches are soldered into a circuit. But to answer the question of what a 3 conductor slide switch can do for a circuit: A slide switch can allow the circuit designer to select between two choices, perhaps causing a switch to illuminate either the white light or the blue light. Since some slide switches only allow the two options, that would be all THAT slide switch could do. But other slide switches have other abilities, for them a center position allows the circuit designer to select between the two lights OR, but putting the switch in the center position, both lights would be off. Other slide switches include an internal resistor that allows for a fading effect, allowing for a light to be ON, OFF or some varying state between.
Why won't a three way lamp switch work on all three settings when used in a outlet controlled by a wall switch?
If the wall switch is on, the three way lamp switch should work. If it doesn't, it may be broken or there may be something else wrong with the circuit.
