    3 wires on ceiling fan
    I picked up a Hampton Bay ceiling fan second hand (minus installation instructions). I went to install it and found that it has three wires: one white, one black, and one blue. There was no ground wire. Is it safe to assume that the blue wire is the ground wire or is it something else? Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thx

    It is a hot wire for the light.

    That link is mislabeled. It is wiring instructions for ceiling fans. I don't know how to change it.

    Thanks, so I combine the black and blue wires with the black wire in the ceiling and then match white to white, correct?

    That is correct.
