    More wires from ceiling than have on new ceiling fan. What wires go where?
    Purchased a Harbor Breeze Edenton ceiling fan. The wires coming from the ceiling are green ( I assume ground because its connected to the ceiling plate) black, bare copper, tan (mite be a dull white) and red. The only wires from the fan are black, white, blue, and green. Need a little help here as I'm not sure where all / extra wires go. Thanks!
