We tried to put in a new chandelier today but are having difficulty.
There are two black, two white, and one red wires plus the two copper grounding wires.
The old chandelier had two separate switches that operated it. One switch had a dimmer/on off for operating the candle part; and a separate switch for turning a spot light on/off that was part of the chandelier.
One of the black wires is hot (determined by a tester). No matter which way we try we cannot get it to work. If the lights stay on, neither of the switches work, and we can't turn it off.
Please advise.
Thank you so much
