How do I wire this amp/sub up?

How do wire a remote control ceiling fan?

  • I am replacing a ceiling fan, I disconected the old fan and installed the black wire and white wire to the fan according to directions...i had a red wire coming from the ceiling and I capped that one. The fan did not work... On the wall I had a fan speed switch and a seperated fan light dimmer..when I opened the wall box the dimmer had 2 black wire connected and the fan speed switch there was a black wire connected and a red wire connected....there are no white wires connected. So where is the white wire in the ceiling used for ? and how do I bypass a switch if the remote can be powered on and off by remote control.

  • Answer:

    please! please! call an electrician ! a switch only breaks one side of the loop (the black) with out a drawing i can't explain it so please call an electrician.

It is my experience that black/red sometimes change colors, but the whites remain the same. You're most likely going to keep the black/red on one side of the circuit and the whites on the other. It sounds like it should be a simple as putting the new fan back in the way the old one was hooked up. If you needed the red for the old fan to work, you'll need it for the new fan to work. Make sure to turn power off before working with the wires. If their backwards the circuit breaker will let you know immediately when you turn them back on. Good luck!
