According to his wire tester, NONE OF THE WIRES WERE LIVE EXCEPT ONE OF THE BLACK WIRES COMING OUT OF THE CEILING. He had a wire tester that lit up when you pointed it at a live wire.
#2 CEILING FANS ONE SWITCH HOW TO#
(NOTE: There is NO TOP LEFT terminal on this switch.)Ī friend of ours, who is an electrician by trade, came over to our house to tell me how to connect the new fan. Looking directly at the BACK of SWITCH 2, with the switch toggle facing AWAY from you, the wires are connected as follows: both BARE wires are connected to the metal switchbox, both WHITE wires are connected to each other with a wire nut, BLACK wire from the THREE-wire set connected to BOTTOM LEFT switch terminal, BLACK wire from the FOUR-wire set connected to TOP RIGHT terminal, and RED wire connected to BOTTOM RIGHT terminal. The set of FOUR wires consists of one BLACK wire, one WHITE wire, one RED wire, and one BARE wire. The set of THREE wires consists of one BLACK wire, one WHITE wire, and one BARE wire. (NOTE: There is NO TOP LEFT terminal on this switch.)ģ) SWITCH 2 has ONE set of THREE wires and ONE set of FOUR wires coming to it-a total of TWO sets of wires, SEVEN wires in all. Looking directly at the BACK of SWITCH 1, with the switch toggle facing AWAY from you, the remaining wires are connected as follows: WHITE wire connected to BOTTOM LEFT terminal, BLACK wire connected to TOP RIGHT terminal, RED wire connected to BOTTOM RIGHT terminal.
The BARE wire is attached to the metal switchbox itself. Each set of wires consists of one BLACK wire, one WHITE wire, and one BARE wire-A TOTAL OF SIX WIRES IN ALL.Ģ) SWITCH 1 has ONE set of FOUR wires coming to it - one RED wire, one BLACK wire, one WHITE wire, and one BARE wire.
#2 CEILING FANS ONE SWITCH INSTALL#
I bought a new ceiling fan and tried to install it, but I got confused about how to connect it.but that was JUST THE BEGINNING.HERE ARE THE FACTS.ġ) The junction box in my ceiling has TWO sets of THREE wires coming out of it. I am reasonably sure that the new switches were hooked up EXACTLY like the old switches were (more on this later). The two switches that controlled the ceiling fan were also replaced with new switches of the same type.
Two weeks ago, we remodeled our den walls and ceiling, and during this time the ceiling fan was removed. The reverse was also true-you could turn the fan on with SWITCH 2, and then turn it OFF by either hitting SWITCH 1 or by returning SWITCH 2 to its original position. You could turn the fan ON with SWITCH 1, and then turn it OFF with either SWITCH 2 or by returning SWITCH 1 back to its original position. The fan seemed to be a basic 2-switch operation-much like what you might find with a light above a staircase controlled by two switches, one at the top of the stairs and one at the base of the stairs. These switches were located beside each of the two doors leading into the den. Up until a couple of weeks ago, our den had one ceiling fan that was controlled with TWO wall switches.let's call them SWITCH 1 and SWITCH 2. Please help! I'm going CRAZY WITH CONFUSION!
