    Brown, I would assume is actually black. Connect it (and the red, if you are using a light) to the black wire.

    What make is the fan?

    The OP wasn't specific enough for this question to be answered. Should have ask for the model, and manufacture info.. Yet, seems like I'm two months too late... :D

    I guess the OP figured it out, they never responded to your question?
