I replaced a ceiling fan with another type of overhead light. I wired the three whites and three blacks in the ceiling to the white and black leads on the light fixture. There is also a red wire which I capped and a ground that I connected to a green ground wire on the light fixtre. Lights work great, but I can't shut them off at the switch. Any suggestions?

Is this light on a 3 way switch? Or just one switch. Black may have powered the switch and red may power the light.

It's a double switch. One controls my another overhead light and that one won't shut off either. I also tried taking the red right to the black on the light but nothing came on.

And actually, now I have the three black wires nutted to the black wire from the light and the red wire. Lights are on and won't go off

Check the wiring at switch. Match the colors there and u should be fine.

Lets us know how u make out.

Remove the switch and tell us what wires you have there. What I suspect you will find is that the white wire is connected to both switches, the black connected to one switch and the red connected to the other.
