    Hook up switch on ceiling fan
    I have a Hunter ceiling fan for which I bought a new pull chain switch. The switch has to hook into a capacitor block. There are three wires coming out of the capacitor box (epoxy sealed) The switch has 4 push connections and one is marked line which I assume is the hot wire coming out of the fan. The fan is a three speed, have any of you guys ever hooked these up before. My brother-inlaw pulled the old ones out and didn't mark them.

    If you can't get it figured out, contact hunter for the correct wiring and pullchain.
