I've looked through some old posts to see if anyone had the same issue as I did and while there was plenty of ceiling fan wiring threads, none of them fit my particular situation. So I recently replaced an old ceiling fan with a brand new one. Now the fan works fine but when I turn the light switch on, the lights turn on for a second but then shut right off. When I took the old fan down, there was a black, white and ground coming from the ceiling. I attached the black and blue from the fan/light to the black from the ceiling and then attached white to white and ground to ground. The fan/light is connected to a single switch. In the switch box there was two whites taped together, 2 blacks, one attached to each screw of the switch, and a ground. I can't figure out what might be causing the lights to shut off immediately. Any suggestions?

[ATTACH]18706[/ATTACH][ATTACH]18707[/ATTACH] Hello, I'm new to this topic but am a fast learner (I'm also aware that safety is critical when messing around with wiring). I am a new owner of a home and am trying to install dimmer switches. I purchased Leviton 6674 slide dimmers (single or 3 way, LED & Incandescent) and made sure the wattage of lights is well within the range of the bulbs. After ensuring that circuits are OFF, and there is no power to the box, I was easily able to swap out the standard dimmer in a single gang box. Things got trickier for this novice when I opened up a two gang box that has a switch for a light as well as a ceiling fan. I may be asking a very obvious question but it's the only way I'll learn (I also searched the forum and google before posting): It appears the two switches are a "combo" -- wires are connecting them. Can I splice in my new dimmer switch, and if so, how do I make sure I am doing it correctly? Photos attached. Help! Thanks much in advance, G
