I have a motion detector spot light - two bulbs and two side by side wall switches. One switch provides power for the motion detector while the other switch is the override that turns the spotlight on without any motion. I'm in need of a diagram to make certain the switches are wired correctly.

Well, most motion detectors do not require a second override switch. Sounds like someone who did not know this, or didn't read the instructions, wired it.
There are no stock diagrams for this type of thing. Someone will have to draw it for you.

I'd remove the unnecessary switch.
