Re: How do I get my remote to work,the light will...
Most ceiling fan remotes have manual dials so you can program multiple fans for different rooms, try taking the battery cover off and see if you see little knobs or sliders to adjust settings.

The light on the remote is a battery light. First mistake was buying a store brand fan which are mostly low-end parts. Try adding a different remote w/receiver.
Check the wiring on your receiver to make sure the light wire is connected.You have to have the light on with the pull chain and then use the remote to turn it on/off.
Where is light located? What is light used for? What voltage? Is this light inside home? Is there a timer? What brand and model timer? Add a comment and describe timer. Is this an old timer that stopped working, or a new timer that might be wired wrong? Is light bulb good? have you tried different light bulb? http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-set-timers.html http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-wire-timers.html
the green light blinking is normal if set has been unplugged--when set is plugged back it should blink for about 70 seconds and then go out--then you can try to turn it on---it is the DM unit inside the set booting up.
If the light just blinks and never stops you have likely bad caps in the DM unit---there are kits available for that.
The other possible reason is that so called reset switch may be bad--fairly easy way to find that out and it is more common than you would think, let me know if you have questions.
