I am replacing two switches for my outside lights, they are standard two way switches. One of the lights is powered in the switch box with a line from the breaker, and that switch works fine. My other switch only has two wires so the power feed is at one of the lights, which is within the eave and inaccessible. All are on the same breaker. There is a third switch in that box also that is 3-way and powered from outside this box.
I want to use a common neutral for both switches, but only the switch with the power coming from inside this switch box will function. I have cross-swapped to verify it’s not the switch, both in either spot get the same result.
it clicks every 5 seconds with a led blink, which in other posts I have read means the neutral isn’t good.
Help please!
