Waldron, MI | For a 3 way switch you will have 3 wires, as it appears you do. 2 wires will go directly to the other switch and the other wire is either the hot wire from the fuse panel, or the hot wire going to the light. It sounds to me like the top switch is actually the one being fed from the panel and then feeding to the lower switch, then to the light. I think the wire you found to be hot is coming from the top switch. Mark that one then flip the top switch and see if a different wire isthe hot one. If so then the third wire, which goes to the light, is the one that needs to be on the black screw. I'm not an expert so I could be wrong. Here's a wire diagram that might help. Good Luck
