    Wall switch doesn't work for fan
    I installed a Hampton Bay fan/light. The pull chains work to turn it on or off, but the wall switch doesn't do anything. The light that was there was operated by the switch, so I think I might have connected a wire wrong. Any ideas? There were 4 sets of wires coming into the box, some of them weren't connected to anything, just dead ended with wire nuts (no bare wires showing). Thanks for any help.

    You may have capped one and forgotten. One of those is likely switched from switch.
