    How many wires in the ceiling box? How did you wire the fan and light? You should have 1 hot lead, black in, switched by the wall switch, tied to fan black and fan blue. Are you sure the supply wire is not a switch loop?

    Tell us what wires you have in the ceiling box. If pulling the fan chain turns the light on, you have a defective fan/light. Are you sure you are pulling the fan chain and not the light chain.
