How do I re-wire the 3 wire rotary switch to the two socket swag lamp correctly?
Cgghxdxrx
One wire is the hot off the plug, one is the hot to one socket, and the third wire is the hot for the second socket. You'll have to check the switch for the exact color code / which wire is which (I don't know if there is a standard). You can test it easily with a multimeter as well.

First, identify the hot wire in the swag lamp cord, typically the smooth or ribbed wire. Connect this wire to the brass terminal on the rotary switch. Then connect the neutral wire, typically the one with dashes or textures, to the silver terminal. Finally, connect the ground wire, often green, to the green terminal or the metal housing of the switch if it doesn't have a designated terminal.

∙ 16y agoThere should be only (2) screws in a 3-way lamp socket. The (hot) black wire goes on the dark screw (brass), and the (neutral) white wire on the light colored screw (silver). Sometimes one wire has printing on it, that one is the (hot) black, and the other one with ridges along it's sides is the (neutral) white. Make sure you re-install the cardboard sleeve in the lamp switch. Another thing you may notice is the prongs on the plug at the end of the cord has one prong that is wider than the other, the wider one is the (neutral) white. You can use a regular (non 3-way) bulb in the lamp. It will then take 2 clicks to turn it on, and 2 clicks to turn it off.

Why won't a three way lamp switch work on all three settings when used in a outlet controlled by a wall switch?
A three-way lamp switch requires a dedicated three-way bulb and socket to function on all three settings. If used in an outlet controlled by a wall switch, the voltage may not be appropriate for all settings to operate correctly. Additionally, the wiring configuration in the wall switch setup may not be compatible with the three-way lamp switch.
