    White to white, green to green, black to black. Put a wire nut on the red. One of the switches, the one the black wire goes to, will have to be on for anything to work.

    Why doesn't the upper light work?

    Are the two switches together or at opposite ends of the room? This could be a three way switch OR it could be one switch for the light and one for the fan, we will know once you answer back
