I have purchased a 3 way pilot lighted switch to control the garage lights from inside my home. This is to replace an existing 3 way switch. The difference between this switch and a normal 3 way switch is the 4th wire for the nuetral to run the pilot light.
I don't have a neutral in this box for the lights I want to control, but I do have a nuetral in this box that controls a different lighting circuit, the lights in the hallway in the home. Can I attach to that neutral? These switches are controlled by different circuit breakers from the load panel.
I do a limited amount of electrical work, and do understand basic lighting circuits. But I'm not sure if this is a workable solution and how it works with electrical codes.
Thanks.
