In this video we take a deep dive into the 4way switch. You will learn when a 4way switch is used, how it operates, and a common mistake DIYers can make when selecting a 4way switch. The video includes detailed instructions using a whiteboard along with helpful animations that will take the mystery out of the 4way switch. I also explain the critical differences between a 4way switch and a doublepole switch, which can be mistaken for a 4way switch but operates completely differently.

If you are not clear on how a 3way switch operates, I recommend you view my "Best 3Way Switch Explanation Ever!" video:    • The Best 3 Way Switch Explanation Ever!
