ceiling fan question...?

Depends on how it's wired at the switch. I did all of mine black to the fan (black wire) and red to the light (blue wire). Try it one way, and if it's backwards you can change the wiring at the switches. Hope this helps.

Assuming you are in US, and your house is wired using the standard color scheme.

More than likely, the wires from your ceiling are wired THIS way:

Black - power to the fan

White - neutral

Red - power to the light in the fan fixture

Now, the wire from the fan

White is almost always neutral wire

Black is almost always power wire for something (fan?)

Blue is what's left. If you have lighting in the fan, perhaps it is for that.

You should look at the wires themselves. Often, manufacturers put labels on the wires themselves. If not, consult your manual.

If you see green wire, it's ground. Tie it to the bare wire that's in your ceiling.
