Don't know since we don't know what ceiling fan or switch you have. You'll have to provide more information if you want help. Some pictures would help alot.

4 gang ground wiring

[attach]96113[/attach]I have a 4 gang metal electrical box with a receptacle, a fan switch, a light switch and a timer for a towel warmer. The honeywell timer does not require to be grounded. For the receptacle i would loop the ground wire from the "cable from source" around the screw in the box and then connect it to the receptacle. All other grounds would go to individual screws on the box. (no screw would have more than one ground wire bound to it) There is not much space in the box and would like to forego using a wire nut(s) if possible. note: There are 8 screws in total in the 4 gang box. Can i wire all the grounds to the screws as in the picture below? Would that be code in Canada? Thanks.Read More

[left]Hello everyone I’m having some problems with a ceiling fan light fixture. I’m trying to connect it but I’m a little confuse since the ceiling motor has the two adapters the blue and white wires and the light fixture has only the white male connector, also the light fixture has a red wire with no adapter. If someone can please help me I will really appreciate it. It’s a Honeywell Hamilton model 10209. Thank you, Ricky[/left]Read More
