How Do I Know what Type of Switch I Have?
In some cases you can tell what type of switch you have by simply counting the number of wiring screws it has. Single-Pole switches have two screw terminals, 3-Way switches have three screw terminals, and 4-Way switches have four screw terminals. The number of wiring screws does not include the ground screw, which is often colored green.
