    Why does the light flicker on then off when I turn my ceiling fan on?
    I have two switches to the ceiling fan. One for the lights and one for the fan. I have the wiring connections from the switches as follows: green to green & copper. Black to black, white to white, and red to the black / white striped. When I turn on the fan switch it runs fine. But when I turn on the light switch, it flickers on then immediately off. What have I wired wrong? Should the striped and the red wires go elsewhere? If so where?
