Well my friend here's my best effort to help you ....In order to control a light fixture from three locations you will need to use two(3) three way switches and one (1) four way switch entering the
power lead or wire through one of the three way switches then going through the four way switch and finally through the second
three way and finally to the light fixture or fixtures needed to be controlled which will be controlled in a parallel way with the neutral lead or wire directly attached to them. Please refer this to an qualified electrician or follow the instructions detailed in the shipping box of the switches if you decide to DIY !!!!

actually if u have 3 locations to switch from you are looking for 4-way switches not 3-way, check your local hardware stores or the big retailers like Lowe's , home depot or an equivalent.

that's actually a four way switch you will need. find a diagram or let someone else tackle it, don't try to do it by trial and error

Assuming you mean an electrical hookup...this is dangerous unless you really know what you're doing...get pro help!
