To set up a 4-way switch wiring system in your home, you will need four switches and three-way switches. Connect the common terminal of the first switch to the power source, then connect the travelers to the corresponding terminals on the second switch. Repeat this process for the third and fourth switches, ensuring the travelers are connected correctly. Test the switches to ensure they are working properly.

There is no flasher unit. Spray WD40 around 4way flasher switch on top of thesteering column. Operate switch a few times. Worked for me on my 94 T-Bird.

What does a 4 way switch do?

For starters, a four way switch must be connected to either a four way switch or a three way switch on either side. Said differently, here are some common combinations: 3way---------4way-----------3way 3way---------4way-----------4way------------3way 3way---------4way-----------4way------------4way----------------3way etc. If you are using a four way switch anywhere in a circuit both ends must have three way switches. You can use as few as one four way between the three ways, or as many as you would like. First of all, connect your white (neutral) wire straight through every box, from the power source to the light fixture being controlled. That neutral has nothing to do with the switches. On your three way switches you will see two bright screws and one dark. (Excluding the green grounding screw). One three way switch will have its dark screw connected to the power source. Two wires will run from the bright screws to the next box (the 4 way switch box). Those two wires will connect to the two bright screws on one side of the four way. The four way also has dark screws, but two of them. Connect two wires to these two dark screws, and run them to the next switch box. If the next switch box is another 4 way, repeat this again and again until you get to the last switch (a three way). Wire the last three way as follows: the two wires coming from the previous 4 way go to the bright screws. The hot wire feeding the light fixture will be the one to connect to the single dark terminal of the last 3 way switch. That's it! As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.If you do this work yourself, always turn off the powerat the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicatorto insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.


MY turn signals blow a fuse every time you put on the right signal also when you use the 4way flashers?

it sounds like there is a short in the wiring on your right side turn signals, check wire for damage especially where it is near sharp edges


Why doesnt my turn signal not working on a navigator?

I CANT GET MY TURN SIGNAL OR 4WAY FLASHERS TO WORK ,FUELS ARE GOOD. I HAVE A 98 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR CANT GET THE TURN SIGNALS OR 4WAY FLASHERS TO WORK. FULSE OR GOOD


Your 4way flashers in your 1999 Jeep Wrangler are not working properly but your turn signals work fine any ideas on what the problem could be?

They are two separate circuits. Check the 4 way fuse then check the 4 way flasher relay.


How do you wire a 4way switch?

Connect all white wires together under a wire nut and push them back into the box. Connect all ground wires together and then connect them with a jumper wire to the ground screw on the switch. Connect black power in and power out, if applicable, wires to the bottom screw on the switch. Connect the remaining black wire going to the light to the top screw on the switch.
