If you have a hot lead in one box, come back and we'll sort this. BTW, if the light is wired between the switches, it's a different wiring; needs 4, not 3. If the hot is at the light box, again wiring is a bit different.
So first things first. And the hot should be unswitched except for the breaker. So a non-contact voltage detector is all you need.

I already said - it’s a 3 way switched light set.
Two switches, multiple holes in the ceiling.
All in ceiling at 1V, black to white (and red). Switches otoh both at 120v.
I need to hook up longer wires to the multimeter to go from switch to light boxes to test continuity but I’m not fit to climb r/n.
My question was - if a wire is meth’d up can I redo all of it with surface conduit or is there a better option?
