I have a ceiling fan with a light kit. The fan still works fine. It looked like the pull chain switch was bad and I replaced it. The light still does not work. I bypassed the switch and wired directly and the light still does not work.
What can I do?

Just a simple question, but did you check to make sure the bulb or bulbs were good before you re-wired?

How is the fan wired at the ceiling?

What are the light and pullchain wired to?

It seems upon removal that the blue hotwire that goes from the source wire in the ceiling was missing. Apparently we had a houseguest that removed about an 8 inch length and took it with them. Sort of like someone taking home a towel from their motel. I replaced it with a new wire and it works just like new. Thanks to all.
