HOW MANY LOCATIONS ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE TO CONTROL THE LOAD (LIGHT)? WITH ONLY TWO LOCATIONS, YOU NEED TWO 3-WAY SWITCHES. WITH THREE LOCATIONS, YOU NEED TWO 3-WAY SWITCHES AND ONE 4-WAY SWITCH......DOES THIS HELP....YOU CAN'T USE A SINGLE POLE SWITCH WITH THE 3-WAY SWITCH, IF THAT IS WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO FIND OUT.

I replaced a new 3-way light switch at the top of the stairs, that had burned out. when I go to the bottom of the stairs to turn off the light the bottom switch would turn light off at the top of the stairs like it use to before switch was replaced.

Then we install a new switch at the bottom hoping that this was the problem. But it didn't correct the problem it still wouldn't work. Help I'm in the dark
