I took down my lite kit from my ceiling fan, and when I did, the reverse switch disintegrated. Just want to get the fan working in the down position (I don't want to reverse it). Can I bypass the reverse switch and still get my lite kit and fan working?

Most reverse switches swap 2 pairs of wires. Are the wires still soldered to 1 piece of the old switch. If so, list the colors and the arrangement.
Do you have another fan like this?
What fan is this?

There are several different reverse switches out there, with 3 to as many as 6 wires on them. Go to Fantastic Fan Service 800-800-3871 they can help
