    Wiring ceiling fan
    I have a ceiling fan that I am trying to wire to a 3 way switch - 2 light switches and 1 fan. The fan has 4 wires- green-ground, white-neutral, blue-light, & black-motor... this is the hard part, the light has 9 wires and I don't know what is what except the ground. The nine wires are: bare, 2red, 3white, & 3black.

    Can anyone tell me what I need to hook up to what??

    Help me please

    jbeania, you are confusing us. 8 folks have read your post and no answers yet because a 3way is a type of a switch that can control a fixture from 2 different locations. You say you have 2 light swutches and a fan, that's not a 3 way. Can you give it another shot at explaining what you are doing? Also when you say light are you tellling us all the wires in the box above the light?/ the light fixture will only have 3 coming off it; black, white and green
