Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forum and hope you can help. I just installed a harbor breeze crosswinds ceiling fan with light fixture and remote. I am replacing track lighting that was on the ceiling. The track lighting was connected to a dimmer switch. After I finished installing the ceiling fan everything worked correctly however it was making a strange humming sound and the lights didn't seem to be fully lighting up. After some research I found that the dimmer switch I was using was not one that was compatible with the fan. I purchased a new switch and then realized I didn't have the correct wiring for a 3 Way switch for a fan. Instead I just used a normal rocker switch and got everything hooked up the and the lights on the fan came on however now the remote no longer works. This means I can also not get the fan to spin, chains dont work either. I tried wiring the fan directly to power bypassing the switch completely however the lights turn on yet the remote and the fan do not work. I tried hooking it back up to the old dimmer and everything worked fine including the remote and the fan. Is there anything that I haven't done already they can help me figure out how to get this to without the old dimmer switch so I can get rid of it and just use either a rocker switch or wired directly to power? Thanks for any of the help I hope I explained this correctly and I can upload any pictures or more information if you need it.

I am trying to install a cieling fan with 3 light bulbs. The problem is this: from the ceiling three set of wires are coming out: 2 black wires wrapped into one, one red wire and one white wire. My fan has: One red wire, One white wire and one blue wire. Green wire is obviously for the ground. Can anyone input as to how this connection goes so that I can have both fan and lights going. Do not want to take a chance. Thanks all!
