NEVERMIND… I bought the wrong thing. I have a three way switch. Crap.

I have a light switch with TWO switches on it. I thought I was buying the exact same item. Wrong.

Will the new switch work here?
How do I rewire it?

The old one is still attached. The plastic switch broke and now the light doesn't come on. There's no question that the problem is the broken towel switch.

I don't think this requires a special switch. Post some pics.

Should be just a $2 switch from HD and wire it exactly as the one you remove. Take pics of the switch before you disconnect it. Don't forget to turn off the breaker!!

I bought a three way switch… I didn't need a three way switch. Once I got the right switch, I was goood.
