    Ceiling fan w/ 3way switches for light and 1 way for fan
    I am replacing a ceiling fan that has 3 switches that control the light and 1 that controls the fan. I have 4 wires coming into the box for the fan (black, red, white and grnd). The new ceiling fan has a remote that has to 2 lead wires that are supposed to be connected to the source and 4 (2 for the fan and 2 for the lights) going out to the fan and lights. How would I wire this?
