Wire Connections for an Old Ceiling Fan Light Fixture
[ad#block] I am trying to reattach the light to a 15 year old ceiling fan.
- The light has 3 sockets – each has a black and white to each light.
- 2 black wires into the chain pull housing.
- The fan has only a blue and white wire available for connections.
- Numerous other wires are connected together within the fan.
- How do I proceed?
