    2 3way switches and 2 lights
    Is there any way to wire two lights and two 3 way switches? What I have is 12/2 going to a switch and from there I have 14/3 going from switch 1 to light 1 and from light 1 I have at 14/3 going to the 2nd switch. The ground and the red traveler pass all the way through. From there I have problems. I think I messed up when I ran the ciruit because I think I need another wire from the lights. Is there any way to configure the setup I have to work so both lights turn on and off at the same time? Let me know please before I tear sheet rock up to run an additional wire.

    Is this what you would like to do?

    Note:
    Because you used 14-3 cable you must make this a 15 amp circuit.
