The fan is working fine on my ceiling fan. But the lights will not come on... when I pull the chain I get a click, but nothing, not even a flicker. Since the chain is getting a good solid click which I can hear when I pull it, I'm assuming that the fan light switch is okay.
I've attached a link to photos of my ceiling fan and it's wiring. A couple things I need to explain: the black box in photo number two, you can read the print on it if you enlarge the picture. Also, in picture number two there are blue and white white wires. They attach to the black and white wires on the piece that the lights are on.
Thanks, in advance if you can help me fix this. If you reply, please keep in mind that I know next to nothing about this kind of stuff, so please explain as if you were speaking to a 4-year-old. I take direction very well.
Changing a light I noticed this configuration of black and white from the romex to the switch coupled, together with black from light fixture. And ground from the switch coupled with the white neutral. I don't really understand what is going on here, usually I have seen black/black and white/white. Other romex goes to the fan and is not attached to anything.

Hello all.
First post here with a question, but hopefully will be able to contribute as well.
I'm an Electrical/Construction Engineer in the oil and gas industry. Since my layoff several months ago, I've been fortunate enough to put my hands on exp to use around my community. Putting up TV'S, recessed lighting soffit lighting...etc.
Lately i have been asked to install a chandelier in an 18ft ceiling. This wouldn't be an Issue generally except for one problem. The HVAC system sits directly over the fixture. The chandelier i plan on installing weighs around 50lbs and i'm pretty sure the box IS NOT rated for it.. my question is how to go about getting the box that is in place removed and an expandable box put in without drywall work. I've seen several done in my neighborhood after the fact and was told by the homeowner that they did not damage the drywall when they installed it. However they had no idea in regards to the details.
Is it a matter of just cutting the box out and leaving the old braces in place?
Ive attached 2 photos and you can see in the rough photo the base for the HVAC system so there is no way to access it from the top.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
