Take the tour ×  I have a ceiling fan with a light and another
light with switches on opposite sides of the wall. One side has
a double switch which goes to the fan with a light and the other
a single three way switch which goes to a light in the pantry.
They both run off the same power. When I turn on one switch to
run the light on the fan the light on the other side of the wall
goes off and vice versa.  How do I fix this problem?

mentioned having a 3 way switch for the pantry. Is there
actually a second switch somewhere that is also supposed to
control the pantry light, or did someone just throw in a 3 way
switch in a situation where a normal, single pole switch would
have worked? How many screws are present on the switch that
controls your fan and fan light, not counting the green
grounding screw?  Where does the power enter this circuit? It
could enter the box with the double light switch, the box for
the pantry light switch, the box the fan is moun
