    1. What country are you in?
    2. What was there before and how was it connected
    3. Which wires are from the fan, which from the ceiling?

    I Have the same problem, I'm in the USA and the light comes on once I turn the fuse on again but I can't turn it off. I have wired the Black and Neutral wires and there is a 3rd that I think is Earth but I don't know what I'm doing with that. It's a really basic light fitting, nothing special at all so any advice would be grea.

    Thanks
