    Fan switch
    I'm replacing a ceiling fan switch.
    There are 4 wires. Black, brown, grey, purple.
    The relacement switch holds up to 8 wires. Does this matter?
    I can't figure what color goes to each position of the switch.
    Assuming black is the fan motor, I can't determine of the 8 positions which makes the motor operate.

    Yes, you don't have the correct replacement switch.
