Dear wifey driving me insane., If the other box is several inches away from the other switch, If it is you will have to take a 2 wire romex with a ground wire from one box to the other. Find the hot wire that feeds the switch, splice into it and that will be your new feed. You will have to extend the white wire also. Then get a wire from that box to the light. Let me Know. If you send me an address I will send you a drawing. If the present Sw. only has one cable. I will need to explain

1st. Make sure the Lamp is not burned out. There are odd situations. Your 3 way switch has to have 3 terminals and one has to be off color. Usually if one switch is bad you will be able to operate the light from the other switch. Make yourself a drawing of what wires go where and change the switch. Mak sure the wire on the odd colored terminal iis replaced with the correct wire.. Let me know.
