Author Content msdemanche Princess Anne, MD September 4, 2007 9:54 AM Post #3935575 I have just joined into this forum. I have to replace a ceiling fan switch. I know the black goes to L, the green to one number the brown to one number, but I have three grey wires, two of which go to a transformer of some kind. My question, do I put the grey one from the fan and one grey one from the transformer into my last slot on the switch or what? Right now I have two grey ones connected, and the other two connected together. the fan only runs on slow. My husband is ready to just hire an electrician and put in a complete new fan. I am very stuborn when it comes to things like this and just want to know how to wire it correctly even if we put in a new fan. Please help.

I've installed lot of fans and am familar with, black, white,blue and green wires. Check the instructions or the fans manufacturer online. Paul
