    Ceiling fan ugrade problems with box
    I switched to a ceiling fan from a light.
    There are (3) of the big white wires. TOTAL= {3}white {3}black {3}Ground
    Two on one side of the box and one on the other.
    The fan has 3 little wires (white, black, blue[for light?]).

    How should I go about wiring all this? PS>I drew a sketch of how it was wired with the light, either I drew it wrong or it is not the same for fans..

    Any help is greatly appreciated thank you.

    How were the wires connected for the light?

    OK, well I'm not positive the sketch.was quick, but it was two of the blacks cap off with a white from the far wire. The two close wires have 2 whites capped all grounds connected then the only one left over, the far black is just hanging.

    Where is the light in the picture?

    Regardless, you would connect the fan black and blue to whatever the light's black connected to, and the fan white to whatever the light's white connected to.

    Photo looks like you have 2 loose black wires.
    The white wire that connect to 2 blacks may be hot going down to switch, the black wire with that white may be switch leg which will go to your light/fan. The fan white may connect to 2 whites capped together.
