    What color wires go to what numbers on a ceiling fan switch
    I am trying to replace a ceiling fan switch and the wires came out of the old one before I could see what color wire went to what number on the switch. I tried to put the wires in not knowing which went where and now it only runs on 2 speeds instead of 3 and one is very slow and the other is on high which is okay. But, I would like for the 3 speeds to be like it was... low, medium and high. Can anyone tell me which color wire goes to what number. The colors are black, green, brown and gray... and the numbers are L, 1,2 and 3. Any help would be appreciated.
