    Didn't the fan come with a wiring diagram? Can you check the mfg's website for one?

    What are the colors in the ceiling box? What was each of the wires connected to before?

    Best to be using a voltage tester to check each wire in the outlet box, as you can see, this is no time for guessing.

    No and no.

    White to white, black to black, blue to red is standard. If you have other colors in your ceiling box we may have to try again.
