Hello all- I recently replaced a three-way switch in my kitchen that controls all the ceiling fixtures in that room; I took careful notes on how the old switch was wired (and watched several YT vids), took pictures, and then made sure the one I bought had matching terminals (Leviton 15 Amp 120-Volt/277-Volt Decora LED Illuminated Rocker 3-Way AC Quiet Switch Residential Grade Grounding). I wired it up just as the old on was, but I should note that the green ground wire was attached to the box, not the old switch; I left the setup this way, unsure if I should wire up the switch instead. In any case, only one switch works at a time now, i.e., only the switch that turns on the lights will turn them off, but the other that used to work in [b]any [/b]case only works now if [b]it [/b]turned on the lights. I cannot figure out what would cause this, but the utility of having two wall switches, either of which could be use to control the lights is now gone. I would appreciate any help a qualified user of this forum could provide. Many thanks.

Right now I have two bedrooms where the light switch runs half of an outlet. I’m adding ceiling fans and want the switch to work them and have the outlet be hot all the time. Would I just connect the white and blacks together and pigtail to the switch and just cap off the red traveler at both the switch and outlet? Thanks for the help! Ryan
