![]() ![]() A regular single pole light switch was used, not a fan control switch. If so, the wrong switch is in place, and it is miswired. There is only one other wire coming into the switch box, with black/white ground, and this line goes to the panel box. Correct? If so, that's to allow separate switch control of the fan and the light at a wall switch. ![]() The line going to the fan/light unit has black/red/white/ground. Let me make sure I'm understanding things here. Whats up with this one? Nothing different in the wiring or the box form any other. All the other fans I've installed, most of which were connected to one switch, required the switch to be on for either fan or the light to work. Here's the weird thing, the fan will work independent of the wall switch, its always "on" as the black is always hot. I put black to black (fan), red to blue (light), white to white (neutral) and green to green to bare (ground). The out coming wires were bare, black (hot), red (hot with switch on) and white (neutral). I always hated it, must have been subconscious. The light would work, but the fan would simply "hum" at varying levels depending on fan speed. The old fan I installed first would not work. The fixture in this room is operated on one switch, so the pull cords should turn on fan and light assuming the power is turned on. Most recently, I removed the fan/light from one bedroom and replaced it, then moved the old one to another bedroom. OK, over the last year I have installed 5 ceiling fans as part of replacing many of the builder grade fixtures in the house with better stuff.
