    Hunter remote wiring
    I have installed an older model Hunter, w/remote and receiver only. The remote controls the fan as expected but does not/ is not controlling the light. The light stays on.
    Fan fwd, 3 speed, reverse work via remote.
    Which lead(s) control the light on/off via the remote/reciever, if any?
    I have installed many ceiling fans, this is the first with a remote control/reciever and no instructions or wiring diagram.

    Thanks in advance,

    Pete

    Edit:
    No pull-chains, hot wires only, hot/nuetral/grd (no wall switch)
    Receiver has: red, pink, yellow, grey + white, blk/wh wires connected to power source.
    Specifically: curious about the red receiver wire and what it controls, presently disconnected.

    All the wires should match up color wise at the fan. If there's a red, it should connect to a red from the fan.

    What did you connect the light to?

    CFR -

    Thanks for the reply. The red lead from the fan is currently disconnected. I removed the fan from the ceiling because the red was attached with the white from the fan, connected to the house nuetral.
    After re-attaching the fan w/o the red lead attached, light stays on (didn't fix the original prob) light staying on and created another.
    Now, the fan does not start rotating, only with a push start assistance.
    Red is going to be re-attached as it was, and the way it was, if I recall, when I removed it last week and installed a new in it's place while in Florida at the in-laws.
    The receiver wiring is limited to yellow, grey, pink, white & black/wh. The red is from the fan itself and no red lead at the receiver.
    I did notice on another web-site the exact or looks similar remote & recv unit.
    www.eceilingfans.com/hunter/remote controls
    Remote is model "E"
    Receiver is model "R12"
    I used the suggestion from your link about bypassing the red (option 2) non-switched circuit.
    It appears the red is part of the start circuitry.
    Reading other similar posts, with the "light on" status and not controllable, I am trying to figure out the light wires at the recv'r.
    Thanks again for your input.

    Are you sure this receiver goes with the fan?

    I am double-checking (phone-call) in search of the original paperwork. I disconnected the fan and didn't write down the color-code previously wired on a working fan.

    Thanks,

    If the colors don't match up, something is missing or incorrect.
