Reattach the switch to the ears of the box and the switch cover.
Wiring ceiling fan and light with separate switches.
Connect the three grounding wires green green yellow stripe or bare copper coming from the ceiling fan rated electrical box the downrod attached to your fan and the ceiling bracket.
It allows for separate control over both the fan and the light in the room.
Your power supply line the black wire should be feeding both switches and those switches power the fan black or the light blue.
This means that you will have black red white and bare.
I will show only the first ceiling fan and control.
Screw the fan in place.
Attach the red and black wires from the fan light unit to the top terminal screws on the switches.
The electrical wiring for separate switching of the bathroom exhaust fan and the light fixture will require identifying the existing circuit and existing switch wiring.
The power source will either enter at the switch box or up at the light fixture or the exhaust fan.
This video is about how to wire an existing ceiling fan for separate switches to control fan and light.
The key factor is to understand where the power source enters the circuit.
Connect the three white wires from the ceiling fan and receiver together.
Also connect any bare ground wires together.
Connect the black wire from the ceiling to the black wire from the receiver.
To do this method the wire from your wall circuit to your light has to have 3 wires.
Switching the light and fan from separate switches two switches this is the most versatile way to electrically wire a ceiling fan with a light kit.
Fold the pigtails and connected wires neatly into the switch box.
Connect all the white wires together in both the ceiling the box.
Connect the two white wires in the switch box together with a wire nut.
The hot wires are either black or red the white wires are neutral and the bare one is the ground wire.
There are also lots of really convenient switches that put this dual control into one neat little package.
Here is a diagram to show how this circuit will be connected.
3 wire cable from 2 nd ceiling outlet down to the second 2 gang box for fan light control.
Now you should have the outlet always hot and 2 separate switches for the ceiling.
Wiring ceiling fan and light with separate switches this method allows you to operate the fan and light power separately.
Flip on the circuit breaker and turn on the switch to test.
