    Three outdoor ceiling fans rotating opposite directions
    I have three outdoor Minka Aire ceiling fans controlled by the same switch. The switch is specifically for these fans and it controls both the light and the blades. The directional button is also on the switch (not on the fans themselves). Two of the fans rotate the same direction; however, the third rotates the opposite direction and will also turn on when I turn off the other two lights, and vice versa. Did I cross wire something on the fan? If so, what is the easiest fix? There were only black, red, and white wires on the fans and in all the cases I only had to wire the black and white wires to get them working (aside from the ground). Thank you.

    Try spinning the third fan in the direction you want to go while turning it off and on, off and on. Sometimes you can trick it.
