My obective is to turn a switched outlet (currently, both plugs are controlled by the switch) to always on while at the same time using the switch to control a ceiling fan I will install. The issue is understanding the current wiring scheme which is: The switch has two black connected to it as well as a red. The whites are spliced together not connected to the switch. At the outlet there are two whites connected and a red. The blacks are spliced together and not attached. The outlet continues on to power other outlets as I believe the switch continues on to power something else. I don't know from where the power source is coming (the switch or outlet).
