I've started to install a new ceiling fan and noticed that the light switch on the wall has (3) wires and a ground. This is good !
However when I went to install the ceiling fan there are only (2) wires and a ground in THAT outlet box. I'd like to be able to install a light switch that can control the fan and light independantly. I'm wondering why the 3rd black wire was not run to the ceiling outlet box ?? How can I fix this ??

Need more info.

What colors are the three wires in the switch box? Are they coming from the same cable? To what are they attached in the switch box? Does any other switch also control the ceiling box?
