I'm attempting to install a ceiling fan with remote, but I'm having some problems with the house wires. House wires are:
2 white (attached to white wire of current light fixture)
2 black and 1 red wire (all attached to black wires of current light fixture)
2 copper grounds (attached to metal ceiling mount)
The ceiling fan wiring is connected to the remote receiver. The wires coming out of the remote receiver are: 1 black, 1 white.
I connected the white wires together; and the black wires with the red wire. I also connected the 2 house grounds together, but didn't connect them to the box. The fan and light work properly with the remote. However, neither turns off with the light switch. Is this because I didn't connect the grounds to the box or does it have something to do with the red wire?
