I am replacing a celling fan that is controlled by two switches on the wall (one for the light, one for the fan itself)
The new fan that I am trying to install comes with a remote and a remote receiver box.
I connected the black wire from the ceiling to the black wire from the receiver box and the white wire from the ceiling to the white wire from the receiver box. I connected the red wire from the ceiling (light) directly to the blue wire from the fan. I connected it directly as I would like to continue to control the light with the wall switch.
Since I connected the light wire from the ceiling directly with the light wire from the fan, there is a blue wire coming out of the receiver box that is not connected to anything.
The light works with the switch but I cannot train the remote. Is it because the light wire coming out of the receiver box is tapped off? If that is the case, what should I do to make the fan work?
Thx!
