    Sorry I didn't that. I meant the 3 black wires going to the black of the test light and the white going to the white of the test light. I didn't mean that I was twisting the white together with the three blacks.

    Have you checked a good receptacle that is next to the bad recepticles? Wire could be separated their.

This is a very old house with old wiring (I have seen no signs of knob and tube) and all the wires have a fabric covering. I have installed three new ceiling fans in other rooms with no problems. All of the others had only 3 wires in the light box so with trial and error I could figure out which wire was hot and which ground or neutral. This box seems to complete other circuits because now that the wires are disconnected other lights and outlets in rooms on the same floor don't work.
    Connect new fan same way as old one. 3 blacks to fan black, white to white.
