Wiring diagram for 2 single wire P90s with a 3 way blade?

[blakejcan]

Having trouble finding this even tho it's probably super simple. Wiring makes my head spin. I tried to follow the lollar example below but it's for 3 wire P90's, not the single wire guys. I'm probably being a total ding dong. Thanks for the help.

Just ignore the extra ground wire. Your shield goes to ground, and the center conductor goes to the switch.

Post a picture of your work.

Not all blade switches are set up the same. So you can’t always just follow a diagram.

I always take a multimeter and check the continuity of each switch position. One terminal is the common, and the other three are the switch throws.

This is likely your problem.

it's a 3 way blade. would it really be different than any other? That seems odd? It's a CRL switch.

You just need to find out which is the common wiper terminal. That makes contact with the three other terminals when you move the switch.

I can’t imagine why the circuit wouldn’t work otherwise. It’s pretty simple.

do I need to run a ground from under the bridge with this wiring?

ha ok. problem mostly solved

when I unscrewed the plate from the body it all worked fine. The switch was touching the braided wire in the control cavity and grounding out or something. Duh. Thanks all.
