    Ceiling fan and light wiring
    Where does each wire go? I have 2 pull chains, 1 for the light and 1 for the fan. The fan is a multi-speed. There are 7 wires coming out of the fan box.

    This picture should make your job easier -- I will walk you through it

    Fan Figure 1

    The GREEN wire is your ground and connects to frame of the fan

    The WHITE is the neutral and is wire nutted to the white wire on top of fan

    The BLACK is power for fan & light -- it is wire nutted to a (BLACK) & a (BLUE) wire

    This completes the wiring of fan and if done correctly you have power to light

    The WHITE wire goes to white wire on the light fixture

    The BLUE wire goes to the black wire on light fixture

    Your switches should each have a power in common, and one or more outputs. Although we have good people here, I am not sure they will have enough info about your fan to help. Were the switches factory installed? Are their terminals labeled? Post the brand and model, and maybe Ceilingfanrepair can help.

    Are you talking about 7 wires where the ceiling meets the fan, or at the bottom of the fan where the light attaches?
