Wiring a ceiling fan with a remote sensor




By jamesTKD on Mar 31, 2008

" "
I am replacing a existing ceiling fan in our living room with a Hunter 101264, comes with remote. Connected the wires from the ceiling to the sensor black to black, white to white, grounds, but it does not say what to do with the red wire coming from the ceiling?

-   I have a Harbor Breeze ceiling fan/Light with a remote in our bedroom.During a Lighting Storm we lost power.When power was restored the light switch worked fine but the remote fan control did not.The sensor has a white wire going to a connector,the red wire goes to a plastic plug to the fan.How do I remove the red wire or should I?-   pfha1

-   The receiver for the remote control of our fan has a total of 5 wires - 3 are on one side: black motor, white motor, black light. The other side has two wires: black ac IN and white ac IN. There are only three available wires in the fixture that match the 3 wires on one side. Are the two other wires necessary or can they be nutted off? The fan is a Casa Endeavor and the instructions are very unclear.
Thank you.

since you have a remote, you don't need that extra wiring for the light/fan. just wire nut it off.
the switch at wall has 2 switches but only one will work now.
