I disconnected my two attic fans (see "dead attic fan" thread). I did this by identifying the black and white wires from the fan. These were stranded wires. The black one connected to a solid black wire. The white one connected to two solid white wires that were twisted together. After disconnection (and turning the breaker back on) some things on one end of the house don't work - a light in the attic and the wall sockets on the room next to it. I can live without the light in the attic but I need the wall sockets to work. It seems to me that what I did would not do anything but disconnect the fans. Does this make any sense? And is there anything I can do to get the wall sockets back (until I get an electrician for the fans).
