    Ceiling fan + 2 wall switch
    Good morning all,

    I recently installed a ceiling fan in my Son's bedroom. I thought everything was installed correctly however when I go to the wall switch only 1 of the switches appears to be connected. So both the fan and light are controlled by 1 switch. I would rather have both switches hooked up with 1 controlling the fan and the other controlling the light.

    So I guess my question is, should I have seen 2 sets of wires coming out of the ceiling? One for each switch. If not what did I over look during the installation process?

    Thanks

    There should be a total of 3 wires (plus ground) in the ceiling. Black, white, and red. These connect to black, white, and blue on the fan.
