Let me preface this by saying I am completely new to home ownership and home repair, but am looking to learn.

The ceiling fan in the master bed room of a house I just purchased did not have a light, so I purchased a light kit to install. After installation, the fan continued working, but the light didn't turn on. I then tested the light on a different fan, in a different room, and confirmed that the light indeed works. I want to take a volt meter and get the voltage between the blue and white wires, which are the wires that are designated "FOR LIGHTS". Is this safe to do, and should I expect to see 120V?

Thanks for the help!

Blue wire is hot, white is neutral. With a volt meter red lead

120V. Check black hot wire in fan to see if it is connected.

Open the fan at the ceiling, and confirm the blue wire is connected.
