I have a 3 way electrical switch and a single pole switch in one wall box in the family room that goes to a ceiling fan and a separate 3 way switch in another box by the breakfast nook that evidently goes to the light side. My problem is that we just bought this house as a foreclosure and the box in dining nook had 3 switches and all of them had been removed from the box and wires left hanging. In that box there is a 4 wire going to the 3 way switch for breakfast nook which I wired to a new 3 way switch and have breakfast nook light working OK from both switches. There are a total of two 3 wire lines and two 4 wire lines coming into that box. I am supposing that 1 goes to the 3 way on breakfast nook, 1 goes to the 3 way switch for family room light, and the last would be for a single pole to back patio light right by the back door. (Back door and box are right by the breakfast nook). There is only one 4 wire coming out at ceiling box with ground, red, black, and white, and ceiling fan of course was taken and wires left hanging. The wall box in family room has all the switches in it and 3 way has red hooked to bottom common and a red above that and a black to other top screw on other side. The single pole has a black at bottom common screw that is short jumper wire nutted together with 3 other black wires and top screw is black wire from one of the 4 wire cables from the wall. There is also another 3 way in the wall box but that light works OK from both switches. Can you send me a schematic of how this should be wired because I have not had much luck yet. I appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks guys, but I just sat and thought about it for a minute on was was missing from my circuit and realized I needed another black hot jumper in the box that had been missing all the switches. I added that and shifted the proper wires and all works now. I have back porch light, 3 way works at both locations on family room light and other switch works the ceiling fan.
