6 wires in ceiling box, trying to hook up fan. Pic incl.
Replacing a ceiling light with a fan/light combo. Had to pull up the wires to upgrade the box, and lost track of what went where on the old light.
WOuld be straight forward, but there are 3 sets of wires coming into the box. 2 from the power source, 2 to the switch, and 2 that I lose in the attic and do to another part of the house.
Can anyone help me figure out what my wiring needs to be here? What do I cap off, and what is connected to the fan?
HELP - Installing Light Switch Dimmers BUT there is no green or Copper Wire
The house is built in 2015 and I know it was supposed built to code to have it grounded.
BUT after removing the switches, there are no green or copper wire in box. Box is metal and has GR on it.
Reading instructions, I need to connect the green wire to ground wire. What if there is no wire to attach ground? I check other switches and NONE of them have the green wire in it attached to light switch.
If the metal box is grounded, how can I tell using a multi meter? I have heard you touch the black to metal and touch the live wire which is hot to see if there is current.
There are two red wires that look like diagram that have the wire going from top and bottom loop together and it reads a voltage 115v, but looking further it is the secondary live wire.
Can anyone give me advice or should I contact the company who built the house telling them their contractors did not ground any outlets

in home?
I just want to make sure my family is safe.
I just changed the fixture about the bathroom mirror. I have 2 blacks, 2 whites, a yellow, a blue and 1 green. I did everything perfect but now my light stays on even when I switch it off. I have rearranged the yellow and blue multiple times and can’t figure what the problem is. I did nothing with the switch.
please help
