    Wiring a three and four way switch.
    I have 2 fans in a screen room one fan in the bedroom.(these are ceiling fans). My 3 way switch in the den a 4 way switch in the dinning room and a 3 way switch in the bedroom. I have power to all the fans The fan in the bedroom is working the other fans are not but there's power going to them. Now, In the bedroom from the ceiling box there's a white and red and black wire plus the ground. From the fan I have a blue black and white wire plus the ground. The screen porch fans are remote control and they are not working. On the 3 way switch in the den I can put on my bedroom ceiling fan and light. I can also put on the ceiling fan with my 3 way switch in the bedroom. I know this is wrong can you tell me the problem?

    Your 3/4 way switch has its switch leg, could be black, red, yellow, what ever they switch, identify. Your remote Fans may need constant power. Look for a constant hot wire in the box.
    On the fan, Black is fan, and blue is light, if both are tied to switched leg, then light/fan will be switched together.

    I'm very confused by your post. Why do you need 3 and 4 way switches for remote controlled ceiling fans?
