Re: How to reset a remote control for a ceiling fan
Most have 4 dip switches in the receiver & transmitter. Just match them up. The dip switches in the transmitter are in the compartment where the battery is.

I believe a Dawn Sun is a model name for a Harbor Breeze ceiling fan. You probably do not realize it, but your question landed in the Fixya.com category for Television & Video.
Be sure to read the specifcations, reviews, and Community Q&As for each universal remote control before ordering one. You will want to make sure the remote control you choose works with the Dawn Sun fd-30-ho2r model ceiling fan.
With mine, I turn off the full power and back on and it starts beeping and and press any button on the remote and it finds it and does a couple confirmation beeps.
Most likely the dip switches on the remote receivers don't match (on the second fan, the one that doesn't work). While the remote dip swithes on both remotes match the working fan. You can simply reset the dip switches on the second fan receiver to match the one working remote, i.e. you don't need to have a second remote, one can work both fans as long as the codes (dip switches match). If you want you can make all the remotes the same, that way you have two remotes, or if you want them independent each remote and remote receiver must have unique codes (dip switch settings).
If you don't want the to use the remote you don't have to, but you don't have enough wires to switch the upper light, the lower light, and the fan. You can, however, switch the upper and lower lights together if that's okay. In order to do that you'd connect the white from the ceiling box to the white (neutral) on the fan, then the green from the ceiling box to any green(ground) wires on the fan, then the black from the ceiling box to the black(motor) from the fan, then the red from the ceiling box to the blue and orange (lights) from the fan. I'm assuming that the black and red in the ceiling box are also in the switch box where the fan/light control switch is going. Those are the ones you'll connect to the controller.
If you own a Hunter Original, there is no reset button, but MANY people that have a remote control added (includng me) have , once power has been restored, found that the chain was pulled by someone and it got into the off position, rather than the slow, medium or high setting. With the circuit hot, pull the chain one more time and try to turn on your fan with the remote again.
Hope this helps.
