Ceiling fan w/ light - Light doesn't work

Mar 04, 2007 2 Replies

First time poster here, so be nice....



I bought a ceiling fan with light from Lowes this afternoon and installed it this evening. This combo piece is replacing an existing fan-only fixture, and as such, there were only three wires coming out of the outlet box (white, black, and ground). The fan operated off of a single wall switch.



The instructions on my new fixture have (I thought) a wiring section titled "Fan and Light controlled by chain" and has an illustration connecting the fan white/black to the outlet white/black, and having the fan blue wire capped off and not connecting to anything.



Anywho, that's what I did, and the fan works great. Problem is, my lights won't come on.



I'm sure this has been posted before, but I searched for a while and couldn't find anything that fit this situation.



Any help is extremely appreciated.



Thanks,

The blue wire is for the light. Connect it to the black wire.
