To say the least. The green wires just clutter up the drawing. You only have a single wire to and from the 3 way when you should have three wires, and the single wire splits into 3, probably for the lights. What is the "ceiling"?

Did confirm that switch located at the top of box labeled 3 way does control outside porch light.

No kidding! I've never heard of hots tied together unless branching to other outlets. A fixture should never be tied to a hot, only to a switch. A switch should never be tied to a neutral. Who knows what is being switched.Originally Posted by hj
If the OP cannot explain why it works, he shouldn't be messing with the wiring.
With Respect, I disagree.
It may work for a second, then You just need to add the Smoke back in. (They sell it at WM in the Toy department, Near the Trains)
That Dimmer is most likely smoked.
I would Disconnect it , Get a new Dimmer and start over, After I could verify the wires, and connect them properly.
Better to be Safe than Sorry..
Don't pay someone to do a job fast, when you can do a half-fast job yourself.
