To start my new home was built in 2002. I'm installing a ceiling fan in a bedroom. (all bedrooms are ceiling fan ready)
I have installed many ceiling fans before. They are simple enough (3 wires) however I think I am running into a non-simple problem. I absolutely had my light switch turned off in the bedroom. So I unscrewed the old light fixture exposing the 3 wires. I simply cut the 3 wires. Instantly blew a fuse. I saw NO spark, was not shocked or anything.
Also in my sons bedroom, I am sure that I wired the ceiling fan correctly. (black on black, white on white, ground on ground) The fan works perfectly, however if I pull the string to turn on the lights, a fuse blows. (This is in a different bedroom).
My living room and master bedroom fans work fine and I wired them the same way. The two bedrooms.
Could it be that I cut the ground with one of the other wires at the same time?
