(if there is a grounding terminal) Now simply hook the black wire to the bottom terminal and the white wire to the top terminal. Most electrical wall switches that arent dimmers look more or less the same when mounted and in use. Hook up the ground wire to the box and then to the switch.

When wiring a 2-way switch circuit, all you're really doing is controlling the power flow (Switching off/on) to the load (a light, lamp, outlet, ceiling fan etc.) It should also help in understanding the functions of each type of switch. Go to my Switch Terminology Page where I discuss the terms used for the different types of home electrical switches.
First of all we need to go over a little terminology so you know exactly what is being discussed. Wiring a 2-way switch is about as simple as it gets when it comes to basic house wiring.
