3 wire and ceiling fan
I have a room which has 2 outlets controlled by a switch. Only the top outlet is controlled as the bottom is always hot. Looking at the switch, it has a 3 wire and 2 wire coming into it. The 3 wire is the power source. I want to have the outlets always hot and the switch to control a ceiling fan I am installing. the 3 wire rus from the switch, up the wall, and right over where I plan to install the ceiling fan.
To keep the outlets always hot, can I just rewire them to not use the red wire? I was then going to hook the fan up to the red and white wire, and control it with the switch. Will this work? I would rather not fish wire more cable into the wall unless I have to. Thanks!
