    Bathroom fan/light fixture and other light
    I am remodeling my bathroom and am having trouble with the wiring of the switches. Existing wiring controlled an fan switch, separate switch for the light, a switch for vanity light and an outlet. I want to eliminate the outlet so need to wire the three switches separely in a 3 gang box. The wiring coming in is: (2) 2-wire lines (one hot coming in) and a 3-wire line. Can you show me the correct way to wire this and a diagram as well?

    Clarification please. You have three switches and an outlet in a single four gang box and want to remove the outlet, correct ? You listed the wires but one seems to be missing.
    How is the outlet presently wired, a single wire to each the hot and neutral or two?

    Sorry, just reread your post. Now see that you have two 2-wire cables and one 3-wire cables.

    Connect all white wires together with wire nut, connect all ground togeather and add a pigtail long enough to go to ground of all switches. Find hot black wire. Add three pigtails with wirenut. Connect pigtails to one screw of each switch, doesn't matter which one. Connect the black wires and the red wire to other screw of switches. Black and red wires of 3-wire cable will go to fan/light. Other black wire will go to vanity light.
