    Hunter Switch/Housing Assembly
    We just moved into a home with a Hunter ceiling fan, we found a broken light kit in the garage. Husband bought what we believed was a light kit assembly that was made of plastic. The piece is what is under the light fixture/bulbs & just above the glass globe. It is part of the part where the chain goes through the globe. The part broke because it was plastic rather than metal. I called Hunter, was told that fan #20581 was discontinued. Also told that I didn't need a light kit assembly but a switch/housing assembly. I can't find a diagram to confirm it has the part I need. Again the part I need is between the switch/housing assembly & the globe.

    If that switch was for the light kit, you may just need a pull switch(it will have 2 wires attached), some light switches have 3 wires to allow 2 bulbs, the other 2 bulbs and 3rd click is all bulbs, if it has 4 wires, it would be the speed switch.

    It appears to only have 2 wires going into the piece that is broken. I am attempting to attach photos

    These are very common and available everywhere for less than $5.
    Home Depot, Hardware stores etc.
    If the Light an Fan are on separate wall switches, the switch could be eliminated and connect the 2 wires at the switch. Now it will work from the wall.
