    Ceiling fan wiring
    I installed a ceiling fan in my bedroom and there is a three way switch that used to control a ceiling fan and one outlet. One switch has tow red wires going to it, one with two black wires, and the third is going to the wall outlet. The first two switches used to control the fan and the light respectively. I want to replace both of them with one switch that came with the fan that controls both the fan and the light. How do I connect the wires from both of the old switches to the new one? I am not using the red wire coming out of the ceiling by the way
