Hello, I read some other posts on the subject and got more confused because of the reference to "Connect 1" and Connect "L", my wires apparently are not marked.
This is my situation:
I have three lights connected to the bottom of the fan (maker unknown),
The lights will not turn off by means of pull chain, I need to take a cloth and unscrew the bulbs.
I opened up the bottom of fan to expose wiring; each light fixture has one black and one white wire coming from the fixture. The pull chain gizmo has two black wires, one coming from the front of the gizmo and one from the back. The one from the front was not connected to anything but laying at bottom of cup (wires not exposed), ALL BLACK (three from lights and one from pull chain gizmo) wires were connected to the BLUE wire hanging down from motor area, All WHITE wires were connected to the WHITE wire coming down from the motor area.
So thinking that the black wire from the front of the pull chain gizmo was not connected and needed to be... I connected it to the other four 4 black wires and blue wire. Still the pull chain doesn't work. And for added information, the fan or lights were NOT wired to the light switch on wall.
So, should I go and get a new pull chain device?
