Why is a "jumper" needed on the other 3 way switch? How come the other traveler wire isn't connected?

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.

Only 2 wires are conected inside One wire is sniped short that wire you won't use the other 2 you can hook up anyway you want as it is ac I hope this helped good luck

Have you checked if they are in the same channel? Check out if the 3 jumper switches are in the same position

Yes, the switch uses all three wires in its box. As I recall, the neutral and the traveller are tied together in the remote box.

Sorry you are out of luck. This particular switch requires 3 wires and a ground - you should return it. Some other switches only require 2 wires. Your two wires are both "hot", usually black wires, the line and load they are called. This switch also requires white/neutral and should also be grounded - green.

They cannot be wired to each other. Each needs to be wired directly back to the switch.

I'm having the same problem on 2 seperate switches, bc I bought 2. Wiring is correct as I'm using a voltometer to identify the hot/neutral wires. Ground is also wired correctly. The settings have been adjust, still both switchs just "flash" once "on" =(

I have 2 installed on 3 way switches. It does have a jumper. On one, I just took the switch out & covered the opening with s blank plate.

Replace the 5wire first and see if it fixes both. Check for loose wire connection on light.

Well your kind of lucky because I just realized both of mine are wired like that. I followed the wiring instructions and I seem to have the same problem. Something is backwards and coincidentally I was going to look into it today. I really thought I had it right the first time around. Oh well. If you find the answer let me know , I'll do the same.

Well, you COULD use the relay in place of a switch, on either the black or red lines (which are the lines I think go to the two switches in a three-way set up).

You should have a black and a red. That go's positive and negative. The other wire (yellow or red) should go to your switch.

This is not a stand alone switch. It must be wired into the circuit containing the fixture to be controlled (i.e. traveler, neutral and ground).

you just need to replace one but need to modify the second (conventional) switch. see my video diy for reference. I hope this helps

I think this is an abnormal behaviour. One of my switches are located next to the receiver and it works.

You have to run two additional wires from the switch to behind the gauge cluster. Look it up on YouTube, or google it. I did it over a year ago, and it works fine.

Wire a 3-way switch. Or just disconnect the 2 wires and twist them together.
