3-way switch not working after replacing fixture
I had replaced the ceiling light in my kitchen. The 3 way switched worked liked they should. Before I changed it out I drew a diagram of the wiring at the old light. It went red to red from each switch, black to black from each switch, one white from switch 1 to white on light and white from switch 2 to black on light.
It's wired power -> switch -> fixture -> switch
I wired the new light same way but now the 3 ways don't work the way they should. It's the typical one light turns on off other switch turns on off but when switch 2 is off switch 1 won't turn on.
I'm pretty sure it's not the switches since they worked prior to me changing the light. Any advice would be great!
