    How to wire a 2 switch ceiling fan
    I have 2 dedicated wall switches for my ceiling fan box. I am now installing the ceiling fan. Unfortunately the new fan doesn't have a light kit wire. Although it has a light kit, it still only has 2 wires. How do I connect the black and white wires from ceiling fan to black, white, and red wire from 2 wall switches to where I can still use the 2 switches to control the light and fan separately, AND still utilize the fan's remote control?

    Usually black is fan wire, and blue or black/white is light wire. If it is not present, you need to push a wire through top of fan pipe, down through to light kit and connect(disconnect other wire to light pull switch and cap off)then connect light wire to red, and fan wire to black.

    Strat, his fan has a remote. Ignore Strat's answer.

    You cannot control the fan by the wall remote AND the two switches on the wall. You will have to chose one or the other.
