    Wiring a Hampton Bay celing fan
    I bought a Hampton Bay celing fan (with light) to replace a fan. The old fan was set up for one wall swittch to work the fan and the other to work the light. My house has a red, black, white and bare wire. The Hampton fan has a blue (marked light), black, white and green wire. The instruction tell me to wire the Hampton fan as follows: white to white. Black and blue to black and green to the ground. However, when I do this, the fan and light work off the same switch. I tried doing the black to black, red to blue and white to white, but then only the light works,not the fan. As best I can tell, the fan and light are not wired to work off two switches (the light and fan are pre wired by the manufacture). Any ideas?
