    Changed from fan to light fixture and now light will not shut off
    Today I tried to replace a ceiling fan to a light fixture. I connected the black to black white to white and copper to ground. I have a red wire that I don't know what goes to. The light now will not turn off. Should the red wire be connected to something?

    Connect the black wire from the light to the red and cap off the ceiling black.
