    Brand and model would help us greatly. Basically open the canopy and look inside. The switch is usuaully on the outside ring of the housing held in place with a round thumb nut inside. The wires , 3, are connected with wire nuts. Can't give you wire colors unless I know more about the fan and if this is a light switch or fan motor.
