    Do you have a wall switch you wish to use and how do you want to use it. Describe the wires in the ceiling box. Describe like this.

    There is one cable with a black and white wire or;
    There is two cables, each has a black and white wire or;
    There is two cables one has black and white wire, one has black, white and red wire or;

    Note: A wire is a single wire, a cable is two or more wires in an outer covering.

    Hi!
    Thanks for the fast reply. No wall switch. The "cable" is 14-2 G, and contains 3 wires. A white, a gray and a bare. The fan was a gift from a friend, the 14-2 is a spool I have hanging around and I plan on running it to a wall outlet for power.

    Connect the black and blue wires of fan/light to gray of ceiling box. Connect the white of fan/light to white of ceiling box. Use pull chains to control fan and light.

    To install switch

    Run 14-2 cable from ceiling box to switch location. Connect the white of switch cable and black of ceiling fan to gray of ceiling box. Connect white of fan/light to white of ceiling box. Connect blue of fa/light to black of switch cable. At switch location connect the black and white to switch. Switch should control light, pull chain control fan.
