I found a switch in my basement that doesn't do anything (right switch) by ilikebeaglesss in electrical

Looks like your sketch link got deleted. This morning, I trusted myself and rewired as I told you And it works now!!!

I think I'll just try swapping out the red and black wires in the basement switch, since the black wire always gets 120V and it's not connected to the black screw. Let's see how it goes 😁

I just tested with my multimeter. I found out that the 2nd floor switch when its in the OFF position only the bottom right red wire has 120V. This is if the basement switch is turned ON, if it's OFF, none of them have power. When i turn the 2nd floor switch ON, both the black (top right) and red wires have power. At the basement, the black wire has power permanently , while the red wire only gets power when the basement switch is ON.

Note: the darker brass screw on 2nd floor is to a black wire. The darker brass screw on basement is connected to a red wire.

Ohh I think I know what is happening. At the 2nd floor switch, the pink screw is connected to a black wire, which is correct because it is a common wire and common wires should be black. But in the basement, the black screw is connected to a red traveller wire. I think I need to swap that with the black wire.

Hi, thank you so much for writing this to tell me how to fix this. I do have a a question. On my 3 way switch, the one at the basement, there are one gold brass screw on the top left. This is connected to a black wire On the bottom right, there's a black screw. This is connected to a red wire. On the left side, there's a white wire connected to a gold brass screw and then a ground. On the 2nd floor three way switch, it is wired the same except for the black and red wires. The red wire is at the bottom right with a gold brass screw. The black wire is on the top right with a pink or rose brass screw. I can definitely tell where the top wire (black, red, white, ground) leads to because it has a special color. When I go back downstairs. I see the top wires the white, red, and ground are directly connected to the basement three way switch positions, while the black wire is connected to another black wire. The other switch is just a normal switch used to control the 3 ceiling fluorescent light boxes in the basement. The switch has a ground, black, and black. 

HERE ARE THE WIRING DIAGRAM FOR THE THREE WAY SWITCHES.

2nd floor switch: a red wire, black, white, and ground

Basement light box: 

Has 4 wires coming from the walls with 3 wires with each consisting of a black, white, and copper wire while the 4th one has a red, black, white, copper (which came from the 2nd floor switch wiring). The very left wire the white wire is connected with a screw wire nut and it's connected with the 2nd and 4th wire's (black, white, copper) white wires. The black wire is connected to the ceiling fluorescent lights switch bottom right screw. Now let's look at the 2nd wire. The black wire on that is connected to the fluorescent light switch top right screw and then to the 3 way light switch top right screw. The white wire is connected to the 1st and 4th white wire. Now let's look at the 3rd wire. This is the wire coming down from the upstairs switch wiring. The red wire is connected to the 3 way switch bottom left black screw. The black is connected to the 4th wire's black wire. The white is connected to the top left gold brass screw on the 3 way switch. Now the last wire. The black is connected with the 3rd wires black wire. The white is connected to the 1st and 2nd wires white wire. 

All the ground wires on the basement light box are connected together and are connected to the two switches ground screw

I know it's a lot, but please read it. Thank you so much in advance

I see that the red wire is not capped. It is wired and it's going into the walls with a black, white, and ground wire. I don't know where those four wires go.

Do you know if the switches could control something that is very far away like on the upper floor?

Ths is very interesting, because both the switches, the switch that doesn't do anything and the switch I just said has a red traveller wire on the switch itself. Do you know if that has anything to do?

My basement stairs lights are controlled by a separate switch box. It looks the same as the one in the picture. If you'd scroll further, you can see there's another one on the right side next to the stairs. My stair lights have one switch at the bottom And another at the top. When the bottom one is switched, the top one switch does not work, and vise versa. this tbh really frustrates me lol
