I Have a wall swich that currently controls a baseboard outlet. The Wall switch has a white,black, ground coming in from the top of the box-- and a white,black,red,ground coming in from the bottom of the box. The two blacks are tied together/two whites tied together... the red goes to the switch and a pig-tail black tied to the two blacks goes to the switch.

I am installing a ceiling fan (pulling a new 3-wire cable from the fan to the existing box) how do I wire the box so the outlet still works. The outlet currently is plugged into a TV... is is OK to wire the outlet and new ceiling fan from the switch) hope I explained this OK.. Thanks

Can you please send us some pictures of the wiring behind the switch's faceplate.

Sure... but am running out will send it to you later.. thanks

Are you pulling the new cable to the receptacle or to the switch? Do you want the fan, light or both to be controlled by a switch?

How many cables in recptacle box?
