I'm replacing a lighted ceiling fan with a new one that has a transmitter that controls the fan speed and light kit. The instructions assume you only have three wires coming out of the ceiling (black, white, green) to hook up the receiver and fan. My ceiling fan has a wall switch that controls the light, but not the fan which is wired to be controlled by the fan chain. So I'm assuming there are four wires coming out of my ceiling with one of them being hot but only controlled by the switch.
Do I just cap off the extra wire when installing the new fan or do I connect it to the black wire? The wall switch will be covered by the bracket that holds the new fan's remote control. The manufacturer is closed today and I expect they would tell me to call an electrician anyway.
