    wiring lights to fan
    I have Hunter fans, I am installing light.
    The fans are wired to a variable speed select switch.
    I connected white (marked light) and black with white tracer (marked light)
    The fan and light switch seem to be connected in parallel.
    The fan and light switch work alternating switching the fan off and on, but no lights.
