In reply to cieling fan - wiring fan and light seperate by james on December 5th, 1999 01:10 PM [Go to top of thread]

I have a ceiling fan with a light fixture that has a pull cord switch. I replaced the 3wire switch but am having trouble rewiring and making it work properly.

In the light fixture, there are 4 bulbs with a black/white wire for each and a main bulb with a black and white wire.

There is a black & white wire coming down fom the fan.
There are 3 wires coming out of the switch, red, blue and black.

1. What do I tie the black wire coming down from the fan into?

2. What do I tie the red wire from the switch into?

3. What do I tie the blue wire from the switch into.
