    My ceiling fan pull chain switch for the light
    My chain broke off in the switch, it has an L 1 2 3 on the switch with 3 wires, #1 is a blue wire, #2 is a black wire and #3 is a red wire. I don't know what the numbers mean, unless it's a 3-way switch for 3-way bulbs, I don't care about the 3-way stuff, I just want off & on. Our local Wal Mart has pull chain switches that have 2 black wires, is it possible to connect one of those to it instead of hunting down this L123 switch? If so, what wires do I connect, and what wires do I cap off? Can you help me, it's the living room light & it's pretty dark in there all the time without it.

    What make is the fan? A L 1 2 3 switch should have 4 wires a 3 wire switch should have L 1 and 2.
