    2 3way switches and a porch lite and fan/light
    I have a little different situation than before when I wrote and said the power source was coming in from one of the 3-ways well its coming in from the ceiling. In the ceiling I have the 2-wire hot, 2 3-ways, 2-wire to the porch lite and a 2 wire to the ceiling fan/light. Right now I have all the whites together, the reds together then the white from one 3 way going to the black of the other 3 way and the hot together and the breaker keeps blowing. I changed out both 3 ways in case they were bad. What am I doing wrong?
