    We have Hampton Bay fans with remotes, on 2 of the fans, the lights will not turn on. On one fan the light came on and the only way we could get it off is to unplug the line.

    The first question, I've not heard of that from anyone else assuming you're the same person that emailed me. Definitely contact Harbor Breeze.

    The second person, sounds like you have a shorted receiver.
