I'm replacing a ceiling fan switch.
There are 4 wires. Black, brown, grey, purple.
The relacement switch holds up to 8 wires. Does this matter?
I can't figure what color goes to each position of the switch.
Assuming black is the fan motor, I can't determine of the 8 positions which makes the motor operate.

Yes, you don't have the correct replacement switch.
