Hi An, First of all, I just want to let you know that I'm not an electrician and all the installation that I had performed was just by following the instructions that came with the product and also did some online reading so that answer that I'm going to tell you was just based on their instruction. All my installations were on a single-switch installation and I never done a 3-way installation but just looking at instruction, it showed that Red is connected to the Yellow wire. I took a picture of the diagram that I had when I still have my Honeywell switches and I hope by looking at this, it will clear things up for you. http://db.tt/NXf3Hi0X- Joel Hi An, First of all, I just want to let you know that I'm not an electrician and all the installation that I had performed was just by following the instructions that came with the product and also did some online reading so that answer that I'm going to tell you was just based on their instruction.

The manual for this switch is here: http://goo.gl/XeFyj They call the traveler wire the "3-way" wire (yellow). Your traveler is red, so it would connect where the "yellow" wire is (I'm assuming it's a pigtail wire coming out of the switch). Remember to also use the supplied "jumper" wire at the existing 3-way switch (assuming that's your setup).

Sorry I ended frying mine since I didn't do it correctly. So I had to order a replacement and ended up having an electrician install for me.

My Honeywell must be a bit older since my 3-way wire is also yellow. If it is a later build, then that wire goes to the "red traveller wire" from the other switch in a 3-way hookup..

On mine, there were two solid colored wires (blue & brown?), and one (yellow) with a stripe. When I opened the back of the light, I found that the striped wire just ended and was not connected to anything. My guess is that they found 3-lead wire cheaper than 2 or 4-lead so that's what we get. The other two solid wires seem to work interchangeably as + or -, so they apparently added circuitry to make them idiot-proof. Short Answer: Striped wire: Not used Other two: Connect to 12V DC

on the drive backend in the upward right corner there is a terminal block of red,white,white,blue connectors. on mine two interior white are not used and the red has a single wire while the blue has three wires connected to it

That is a normal installation of manual switches. The hot lead switches between the other two as does the other switch (slave). When they are both on the same lead the load gets power. on different leads the load is off. This switch uses the traveler to switch the slave. So in a few less words NO.

I am not a electrician, but if you have a 3 way switch in there now I would assume one of those wires is a traveler.

I bought the same fixture and wired it black to black and red to white and it didn't work. Switched the wires and it worked fine.

The color of each wire is to make replacement simple. I always make a Diagram first before removing the original wiring.You can't always follow by color of wires

The metra kit should have come with the proper connection kit in order to hook up all heating/ac controls. The main black block in the picture is used to attach to old wires to control all functions through your new stereo. It also should come with directions in order to change time and all the other options on your display. If you dont have that little block for wiring all this then you got sent the wrong kit or something.

the older units had a black control knob. The new model has a red knob but lights the same as the older model. everything connects at the same position as the old.

The unit only requires three conductors to supply the unit. Two of the conductors are energized (hot) and the third is a grounding conductor. If you elect to use a cable with black, white and (green or bare), the white wire should re-identified on both ends with black tape to identify the wire as being hot. White insulated conductors normally indicate that the wire is a "neutral"" or in code terms "a grounded conductor". Thus the need to re-identify the white wire as hot.

there is just 2 wires. one black and one red. just connect the red to the positive and black to the negative. great lights and very simple instalation!!

I am not an electrician, but if you google "PLS750C1000 manual" you can see the wiring diagram for an Existing 3-way Install and follow as I try to describe why a jumper is needed. Starting from the right hand 3-way, power comes to the switch, is jumpered across the Common terminal and the Traveler terminal that goes to the timer switch's Line (black) wire. In effect, this bypasses the right hand 3-way providing constant power to the timer's Line, regardless of the 3-way's switch position. The 3-way's other Traveler terminal connects to the timer's 3-way (yellow) wire, and the 3-way switch basically acts like a single pole (regular on/off) switch. If you look at the electrical flow, it goes into the 3-way's Common terminal, then depending on whether the 3-way is switched one way or the other, power either goes to the timer's 3-way (yellow) wire or does not go. That is, the yellow wire is either "on" or "off". (For what it's worth, when the yellow wire is off, power is going through both the switch and jumper to the timer's Line (black) wire. When the yellow is on, power is going through only the jumper to the timer's Line (black) wire.) I have not confirmed this with Honeywell, but I believe the timer looks at its 3-way (yellow) wire for a change of state. When there is a change of state on the timer's 3-way (yellow) wire (from off to on, or from on to off), the timer sees that change and changes the state of the load from whatever it is currently to its opposite (That is, from on to off or from off to on). So, hopefully that answers why the jumper is needed on the other 3-way switch. And that also kind of answers why both travelers are not connected as they would be normally. It's basically because of the timer's design. I hope this helps. If not, I would do as another respondent suggested and call or email Honeywell. They were good at timely answering a wiring question I had, since my setup matches neither their Existing 3-way nor their New 3-way diagrams precisely.

You see 3 wires, first one is green and is a ground wire. Attach it to the ground if you do not use the bare copper wire also on the fixture which is another ground wire. The other two are clear and white. On mine the white wire went to the black wire in the box and the clear one went to the white wire coming out of the box. Since this is A/C current it really should not matter which one goes to which but make sure you do use the green or bare copper wires to create the ground contact. Hope this helps.

I'm not an electrician but all 3-way switches I've seen have another connection that goes to the other switch. This switch does not have this.

the red is the power should go to the battery or a hot wire, the black is the ground wire just screw it any where metal, the green and yellow wires are for the turn signals if u were to hook it up to those, i dont believe wiring up a different wire will remember a pattern whenever i turn mine on its always on the last setting i had it on

The red/black wires are still right? I connected mine to a 9 volt connector. the remaining wires was trial and error for me. If they didn't work one way, I just reversed them.
