Breaking down the Wiring Diagram: Current enters through the black wire towards the 1 st switch box, attached to the common terminal.; Down position of the 1 st switch means exiting through the red wire and then visiting through traveler terminal into 2 nd switch.; Down position of the 2 nd switch means again exiting but this time through 3 way switch common wire black and enters the light.. A 4 way switch must be wired between two 3 way switches as shown in the diagrams on this page. A 4 way switch has five terminals: one ground and 4 circuit terminals divided into two matching pairs called travelers. Each pair of traveler terminals should be wired to the traveler wires from one of the 3 way switches in the circuit.
