What is the red wire for and why was it left out of the instructions? You should have put a wire nut on it so it cannot accidentally cause any problems if it is energized. Because of this, the second switched ungrounded (hot) conductor is not required. The wiring with the remote unit looks something like this.Īs you can see in the new wiring, the remote unit controls the current to the fan and light. The original wiring looked something like this. This type of installation should only be performed by an experienced DIYer. However, this is an atypical installation, and requires special knowledge. If you'd like to get the functionality you previously had, you'll likely have to bypass the remote on the fixture. The additional wire can be capped using a twist-on wire connector, or other approved method. With this fixture you only require a single ungrounded (hot) conductor, because the remote routes power to either the fan, the light, or both depending on the setting. The other switch in this situation would do nothing, since nothing is connected to the wire that it energizes. As you've noticed, the fixture only operates when the switch is in the on position. These types of fixtures are good for situations where a switch is not present/desired, but may be awkward when a switch is present. Because of this, the fixture only requires a single ungrounded (hot) conductor to operate. With the new fixture, both the fan and light functionality are controlled by the remote. In the original installation one switch would energize the red wire causing the fan to come on, while the other would energize the black turning on the light. The red wire is the ungrounded (hot) conductor from one switch, while the black wire is the ungrounded (hot) conductor from the other switch. Sorry for all the questions, but I'm a complete noob at this. I can only turn on and off via the remote. If I turn on the light from the chain I cannot turn it on/off because the light will turn off immediately.When I turn on the lights, why does it make an brief buzz sound?.why can't I turn the lights and fan on/off via the switches on the wall?)
