Since I am assuming you cannot get to the light, you need to get two 3 wire cables one from each 3 way , to the 4 way, which ever one you want to be the 4 way.


I can do something if you get a 3 wire cable from 3 way to 3 way as you have marked it.

The expert has made themselves readily available to answer my questions.

Hi Russel,
Here is the new layout using a 3-wire routed down through the basement.
I've indicated the switches as A, B, & C. They can be whatever is necessary at this point.
What do you think.

Peace
Neil

Well the image didn't turn out clear. Let me send another one.

Try this one.

You could install wall transmitters at the 3 locations to control light and Fan from the 3 locations.

There is another option, that would be X10(Powerline carrier), They make a wireless 3 way switch

I hope this makes sense and you can understand it.

This is one way of connecting it so the 3way-4way-3way switches control the light, and the single pole controls the fan.

A draftsman I am not.

Cap the old 3 wire cable between A and the fan/light box.

Be sure the 4 way switch is oriented properly, usually the top screws are one set of travelers, the bottom the other.

Be sure to find the Common on each 3 way switch, usually are dark or black screw.

What do you think?

Russel, This looks like I can do something with it. You went to a lot of trouble for this.
Thank you. I didn't get the chance to make the drop this morning so I don't get to hook anything up tonight. But what you've given me certainly looks like it will work.

Thank you
Neil

Have any ceramic or stone tile needs?

I've never understood the purpose of controlling a ceiling fan from more than once location. A light, yes. But a fan motor? You only need one switch IMO.

That's exactly what I had in mind Ceilingfanrepair.

You confused me, because of "I also have a 2-wire from first box to ceiling box, but I wanted to use this for the light option on the fan. "

So you were trying to get a 4 way switch for the fan light, and a single switch for the fan?

I'm awfully late to this party. Did you get it figured out?

Morning Ceilingfanrepair,
Yes I did get it figured out. You'll see a couple of drawing files in this posting.
One of the guys here drew up a configuration that I think will work.
Unfortunately I will have a couple of dead wires in the box's that my drive another homeowner batty.

Thank you for the follow up.
Neil
