    Harbor breeze fan works but lights don't
    I just installed a harbor breeze fan and light kit, I just wanted to know how to wire it up if I have a white/black/and copper wire from ceiling and black/blue/white/and two green wires from the kit... Do you wire the blue and black from kit to black in ceiling, white to white in ceiling and greens to copper?

    From your ceiling you have a black, white, and bare copper - black is the hot, white is your common, or return, and the bare copper is your ground.
    The blue and black on your fan are both meant to be hot- they both connect to the black wire coming from your ceiling. The white from the fan goes to the white from the ceiling (common) and both greens connect to the bare copper wire coming from the ceiling, so yes, you are correct. Its good practice to run the bare wire to the case of your fan box (if it's a metal ceiling box) then pick it up with the greens from the fan.
    With this wiring you have available from the ceiling, you can not control the light and fan separatly from 2 switches, as current will feed both light and fan through the same wire. This will be fine, as you can turn light and/or fan on off with the little pull chains on the unit.

    Yes.

    If you have the blue AND black from the fan connected to the black from the ceiling, the lights should work. Check the connections at the light kit.
