3 Way Switch No Neutral Wire. These diagrams illustrate how to wire a pair of three-way light switches in three different situations. A switch box with no neutral loop will usually only have three wires (see image below).
Because switches do not have white neutral wire connections, the neutral wires at the switch boxes are simply joined together so they pass through. Adding a neutral wire for a smart switch is not an easy task. Could one of the switches be defective?
Three-way switches can be wired in a number of different ways, depending on where they are located relative to the light fixture in the circuit cable runs.
The white neutral wires are wire-nutted together and do not connect to the switch.
Line voltage enters the light fixture outlet box. No neutral wire in your switch box? This way you do not face.
