    Wiring 3 wall switches in separate locations for one ceiling fan/light
    How would I wire wall switches in 3 separate locations to control power to the celing fan/light combination? I would like to still be able to use the pull cords to activate each separately if I need to, but would like to be able to turn the lights on when I come in the room (at 3 different room entrances). Thanks.

    Do you mean that you would like to use the pull chain to turn the fan on and off and the switches to turn the light on and off?

    Where is the power coming to, the ceiling box or a switch box?
