    Wiring a ceiling fan/ light separately from 2 locations in the same room
    I have a new ceiling fan that I would like to control from 2 locations in the same room. I want to control the light and fan separately from the 2 locations,
    The feed comes into the first switch box with 14/2 cable. I want 2 switches in that box 1 for the light and 1 for the fan, can anyone help with wiring diagram from the 14/2 feed to both switches in that box - to the light and fan to the other set of switches. What cable doe I need to run to each location

    Why are you starting a new thread? Two 3-wire cables between the two switch locations, one 3-wire cable from second location to ceiling, four 3-way switches.
