Did confirm that switch located at the top of box labeled 3 way does control outside porch light.

Okay, I have it working but I am admittedly ignorant on the subject. I would love to increase my knowledge on the subject so if anyone can chime in it would be greatly appreciated. I had the black and blue from fan tied to the 3 blacks (hot) in ceiling. I switched the blue from there to the...

I have it all working now! Will report back what I did soon. Kinda of get it but would like to see if someone can inform me how this is working exactly. @ Actiondave, I did tie the blue to the black hot in ceiling and black to red originally but didn't work. Maybe wasn't connected well, I'm not...

By the way, the wires in switch that dimmer was connected to are all hots.

I have the light working by connecting the blue and black from fan to 3 hots (3 tied black wires in ceiling box) but dimmer isn't working. Guessing the red controls the dimmer?

If you don't have a clue it's better to step aside and let someone that knows something answer rather than hijack. Go back to eating your grits.

Hi, needing some help with fan installation. I installed the fan but after installing went to turn on dimmer and now it doesn't stay on. The light will come on when I press in but goes back off. Don't know if incorrect wiring of fan might have shorted it out but no charred wires and what not in...
