Connect red and white to remaining two terminals in any order. Connect red wire in fan/light cable to common terminal of 3 way switch. Switchbox 1: (One 2 wire cable and 2 3 wire cables)Ĭonnect white wire from 2 wire feed to white wire in fan/light 3 wire.Ĭonnect all 3 blacks. This is the first one that comes to mind and possible the easiest to explain.ģ wire cable from switchbox 1 to switchbox 2ģ wire cable from switchbox 1 to fan/light box There are many different methods and color combos to use. cuz i'm not quite sure where i get the constant power for the remote/fan in the ceiling box using the fixture between switches and power going into one switch layout.
if the above senario doesn't work, i still need to know how to wire this 2nd senario. Or is my only option going to be to wire the light direct to the 3 way circuit and not having the remote function for the light, and then wiring only the fan portion to the remote. i'm not sure whether the light would still recognize this function if its wired in a three way circuit. See the part that confuses me most is that i installed one of these fans with just a single switch and it works flawless, but i do know that regardless of whether the remote is there or not, if you hit the switch up to on the light turns right on. but i want the fan to run while the light is not on, and the remote has to work it cuz its the only way to change speeds. i have no problem wiring the light to three way switches. and the remote control box has just a black and white and then the leads to the light/fan. yes its a remote only fan and it does have the black white and the blue in the fan but the fan itself has no individual controls. i would like to have the fan between the two switches with the lead power coming into one of those switches.
i just need to know how to wire this all so it works well. so whatever combination of conductors i need doesn't matter. so i'm starting from scratch which is why i am starting here. its old ungrounded wire so its all being replaced. right now there is just a light in the dining room controlled by one switch.
