If I understand you correctly, your hot lead should attach to 1 switch and a common wire goes from that switch to the other switch. Here's a link to a good explanation of 2 way switch wiring. Essentially you run power to one switch, and that same switch sends power via 1 of 2 other wires to the second switch. The light (or other device) is then connected to the second switch. Hopefully the diagrams in the following link will help you. In any case you need 3 wires at each switch. Good luck!

2000 dodge Durango need to hot wire can't afford key and my keys are 2counties away never hot wired anything have no idea help

Battery lead red (hot wire) to black continuous at ignition. Touch starter lead from ignition to hot wire.
You will need to cut both starter and continuous wires from the ignition loom. Your hot wire can come from your radio, battery, or anything that has direct current.

Im trying to install a a new ljy260 in may fan but I dont know which wire fo where

The black is the hot line, white is neutral, and blue is for the light. If the fan and the light are on separate switches at the wall, the black goes to the hot lead from the on/off switch and the blue goes to the hot lead from the light switch. If you are using the pull chains to operate the fan and the light once the wall switch is "ON", then the black (fan) and the blue (light kit) wires are connected together and tied to the hot from the wall switch.
Hope that this helps you.

Best regards, --W/D--

I just got installed 4 sets of lights on my jeep 2010 Rubicon. Yesterday i wanted to see the final product so i turned on everything and it worked fine. Knowing that it drains a lot, they were on for max...

First, disconnect what you installed from the power source you used. Then check that system for blown fuses etc. Without even knowing what each fuse is for, you can check all of them in under ten minutes using a test light.
Most manufacturers have fallen love with the use of multi purpose "modules" to take the place of what once was trouble free and forgiving, wires and switches. Many of those modules are "load sensitive" and will fail if you add anything to their circuit. I hope that has not happened.
When installing pretty much anything additional, I go the route of creating an entirely new circuit that attaches to the battery lead right where it attaches to the power distribution center.
This way you have a clean 12v source that is not attached to all the electronics. To do that, The circuit is as follows: Power lead to a fuse (or circuit breaker) rated at whatever you need to operate the additional equipment, going to a relay. Relay feeds the equipment added.
Power lead with smaller fuse and activation switch on dash, going to relay trigger. Always use separate grounds either to battery or engine block, not tied into any factory wiring. In your case It would be difficult to forget the added equipment was on, but for other items you may add, I like using a lighted switch as a reminder.
Be aware that your alternator is not designed to be overloaded.
If you add too much draw, you can exceed it's limitations, in which case you will need to upgrade to a larger battery and an alternator of a higher amperage output. (guys that install those giant sound systems know a lot about that!!!)
Good luck!
