Electricity baffles me. I can frame you a house, but know nearly nothing about electrical.My house was built in late 2018. The builder saved money by building the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms with a single switch and light. I am putting new Hunter fans with lights in each room. I want the switch to provide power and I will control the light and/or fan by the switch chains hanging down from the fan.The ceiling has 5 wires: bare copper, green, black, white, and red (It looks like the green just grounds to the box in the ceiling.)The fan mount has a single green/yellow wire attached to the side of the mount itself.The fan itself has 4 wires: green/yellow, white, blue, and black.The instructions say for a single switch:connect ceiling bare copper to the 2 fan green/yellowsconnect the ceiling black wire to the fan black and blue wiresconnect ceiling white to fan whiteno mention of redThis does not work when I hook it up this way. When I took the original light down the only 2 ceiling wires hooked up were red and white. I am guessing the red has power, by my tester has been missing since we moved a few months ago. (I try to never use “guess” and “electricity” in the same sentence, but...)Any help would be appreciated. via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2zfz5Zj
