    Ceiling fan reverse switch problems?
    I took down my lite kit from my ceiling fan, and when I did, the reverse switch disintegrated. Just want to get the fan working in the down position (I don't want to reverse it). Can I bypass the reverse switch and still get my lite kit and fan working?

    Most reverse switches swap 2 pairs of wires. Are the wires still soldered to 1 piece of the old switch. If so, list the colors and the arrangement.
    Do you have another fan like this?
    What fan is this?
