    Ceiling fan, no third wire
    I bought a ceiling fan that has 4 wires. Black: hot power to fan. Blue: Hot power to light. White: Common for fan and light. Green: ground wire. From our ceiling we only have a white and black wire, but the instructions only provide options for if we had three wires. We've tried a few different things, limited by not wanting to be electricuted. but it just won't turn on.
