From switch many white wires,wire nutted together, black to switch, red to switch.

From ceiling, whites nut together black nut together ,red nut together.one black wire

Hanging down from previous light fixture, one red, and one white. Which wires do I use for

Fixutre which has one white wire and one black wire?:eek:

It's possible that the wiring is there for a fan- one hot (red) for the light and one hot (black) for the speed and you neutral. I couldn't say for sure but that's what we had going on in our bedroom. Since we only installed a light the electrician used the red wire to connect to the black wire on the fixture and capped off the black wire, and then white to white. I'm not saying this is in fact the case but that's what I found in our ceiling

Did you get everything figured out then?

Not yet going to try, not sure about white wire?

Connect the white wire to the white wire on the fixture. You are talking about the white wire coming out of the ceiling right?

That is a 4 way switch and you need a 3 way. Then just follow the colors and
Hook it up the same way as the old switch. There are many different ways to wire 3 ways so you need to match the old. .

The old one had a jumper cable white to white

Hey Brian, bet that's a 2 in 1 switch, two switches on a single yoke.

Maybe Ricthestic could tell what the switch does.

One switch is for one ceiling light and the other is for another light.

Connect the white wire to one side and the black and the red to the other.

Yeh, probably misread that "double" another problem of adding to a post that has no connection to the question asked. Sorry.
