Wiring problem
I am installing a light fixture, which will be wired to two ceiling fans as well. When I installed a pull chain switch on the light fixture, the instructions were not very clear. The wires from the light, how are they connected? I wired everything together and the pull chain does not activate, even though the lights come on, they won't go off by pulling the chain. I then wired the light fixture wires to the wires leading from the pull chain which was then wired into the hot line. The light still stays on.
Please tell me what I need to do. I want to be able to leave the fans on, and be able to turn the light on and off with the pull chain. There is only one hot wire available at the location. Thank You. |

Sounds as if you put all the blacks together and all the whites together. Leave the whites alone. Take all the blacks apart.
The black(s) from the fixture will connect to only one black from the pull chain switch, does not matter which one. This will leave one black left over from the switch. Connect this to the black feed from the ceiling outlet. If there are any additional blacks in the ceiling, allI can assume is that they need to connect to the black feed also. |
