    My Wiring on ceiling Fan with Remote
    I'm reposting please somebody help me.
    I first connected without the remote to see my fan works because I'm doing the wiring for first time.The wires I have from the ceiling are black,white,red and copper wire.So,I connected my fan wires black to black,white to white,red to blue(light) and copper wire to the green wire on the fan holder(ground).I was suceesful and Fan worked but, now my issue is connecting the Receiver of the remote(Harbour Breeze).Receiver has three wire on one side - black,white and blue.The other two wires are AC Supply(black and white).

    I tried connecting the white.black and blue of the receiver to the Fan's black,white and blue but,I'm left with the Red wie from the ceiling so,where will I connect that wire which is for the light.Should I connect that red wire to the AC supply black/white or connect the remaining wires from the ceiling i.e black,white,red to the receiver's black and white.

    This fan does not have Pullchains and Fan is with candlebra light

    I've been trying whole day and could not figure a solution.Hope to hear from you soon.

    I'm assuming you have two wall switches--one controls the fan and one controls the light.
    It sounds like you successfully hooked it up to these two switches, and the problem is when attempting to use the remote.

    If the above is true, then I think this might help.

    When you are using the remote control, you do not need the second (fan--red wire) switch at all. Just put a wire-nut on the red wire and tape is securely. That wall switch will now do nothing. Hook the remote receiver up as follows:
    1. AC Supply Black to Ceiling Black
    2. AC Supply White to Ceiling White
    3. Output White to Fan White
    4. Output Black to Fan Black
    5. OutputBlue to Fan Blue
    6. Ceiling Red is capped and taped off (no connection)


    The one wall switch will turn the fan on and off, but is essentially left on all the time so that the remote control will work. You can turn it off when you go on vacation.

    I hope this helps,

    This is correct, also you can connect AC supply black to ceiling red and cap off ceiling black, depending on how your wall switch(es) are set up.
