About 6 months ago we had a [URL="http://www.lowes.com/pd_330868-79-28673_0__?storeId=10151&Ntt=northshore+&UserSearch=northshore+&productId=3284026&N=0&catalogId=10051&langId=-1"]Hunter Northshore[/URL] ceiling fan installed on a new covered porch. It was installed with a [URL="http://www.lowes.com/pd_317998-1811-RCI-107L_0__?productId=3107737&Ntt=harbor+breeze+remote&pl=1¤tURL=%2Fpl__0__s%3FNtt%3Dharbor%2Bbreeze%2Bremote&facetInfo="]Harbor Breeze remote[/URL] from Lowes. It's been working flawlessly until this morning. I noticed that the light on the fan was blinking on and off in about one second intervals. The remote still seemed to work - it would turn the light on as normal (no more blinking), or it would turn the fan rotation on. When I turned the light back off, it would continue to blink. There are the standard incandescent bulbs that came with the fan installed. The problem must be with the remote control receiver, right? The fan doesn't get power until the remote receiver sends it, correct? That's why I think the fan is probably fine and the receiver has gone bad. Thanks for helping me troubleshoot! :)

So i just bought a house and the light on the ceiling fan in the bedroom didn't work but the fan worked. There is one electrical switch in the room so i figured that it would run both the fan and the light. I took the fan down and found that there was a hot wire that came from the switch and hooked into the fan wire, then there was another wire coming out of the ceiling connected to the black w/ white stripe wire that runs the light, this wire has no power. Clearly the wire that comes from the wall switch is running the fan but there is no second switch to run the wire that is connected for the light. Is there anyway to find out where that wire comes from without getting power to it? I was going to get into the crawl space and follow it but there is a mountain of insulation on it. Any ideas on where to start looking? Or should I just abandon the wire in the ceiling and hook my light up with the switch and operate the light and fan on the unit themselves? I would rather have two switches. Thanks for the help in advace
