    Ceiling Fan with separate fan & light switches-3 way
    How do you wire a ceiling fan to two separate switches- 1 to the fan and 1 to the light switch which happens to be a 3-way switch? There is a 3 wire running to the fan and a 3 wire running to the next 3 way switch. So in the box I have 6 wires and 2 grounds.

    One box with a 3 way light switch and switch for fan, and at the other location, just the light 3 way, or fan also.
    You could wire light and fan together, control both from either end and use pull chain to leave in a preset condition?

    Do you have 3 switches or just two? It doesn't sound like you have enough wires for 3 switches.
