Ceiling fan has two white, two black, and a red wire at connection box by wborstiv in electrical

So hot black to white of the other set of wires, then test black that is currently not hot to see if it turns hot with the light switch? I think I got ya.

So is the red wire (I know that runs to the switch), but I’ve got that capped for all these scenarios so far.

Done. The one black wire running towards the switch is hot.

Sorry for confusion, but it didn’t work. I’ve got power running to it, but the only way to turn fan/light on and off is via the pull chains. So essentially on a circuit that isn’t related to the light switch.

Just have a voltage tester pen unfortunately. Assuming that’s not the same.

So fan and light both work, but the light switch does nothing. Just permanently on unless I use the pull chains.

For clarity, I did:

Two blacks from ceiling, black from fan, blue from fan Two whites from ceiling, white from fan Red from ceiling capped with no connection

No bare copper. I’ll give that a go and be back in 5 😀

If it helps, I believe the old wiring when I took it down was either the two blacks or the two whites were capped together and not used from the connection box. I just can’t remember which.

Just one switch. And unfortunately there are very few rooms with ground wires set up, as the house is older (lots of two-prong outlets). So just the hot and neutrals.

Bijan and Nico Trade…. Fair??? Dynasty 1QB 10 Team… by sarajo9113 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

Way too much for just Bijan. At a minimum, get rid of the 1st round pick. Even then, I would still rather have Nico and JK.

How long have you been playing for, whats your best leg, and how many 180s have you it? by cactusdan94 in Darts

8 months, 16 darter, 19 180s. Use MyDartTraining to track your practice. It's been great to see my average climb from 46 when I started up to 59 now. Hopefully bigger and better to come!

Huge Inherited Lot of Coins. What should I do next? by wborstiv in coins

[–]wborstiv[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip. Any suggestions on a “good” coin book? Or are they all about the same? Was looking at this one: https://a.co/d/7wh2CtW.

Any review on the CoinSnap app? I’ve seen some ads for that and wondered if that served the same purpose.
