Scared out of my wits to attempt my first ever electrical project. The pull chain in my bedroom ceiling fan light quit working. I didn't have a clue how to fix it and hiring an electrician over a 3-day holiday weekend was not a budget friendly option for this old retired lady. I watched your video while replacing the pull chain switch. After turning the power back on I started laughing and screaming for joy. Everything works again. Thank you thank you thank you.

This video was very useful like the other videos on how to replace a light kit pull chain switch, and once you do it so often, then it feels like that a broken pull chain switch isn’t really nothing, unless it depends on what light kit you’re doing it to.

Thank you for your video. I found it very informative. I had replaced the fan speed switch in one of my fans years ago. I just had not replaced the light switch before and you were very clear with your instruction.

Very helpful, since my fan and light both stopped working but there is electricity at walk switch and all over fan base, lightbuls and blades. I took the base off. Now I feel confident that I can fix it.

Awesome little Union Hugger Ceiling Fan. those are quite rare. keep it in good condition. if you decide to take it down, they can go for like 25-35 on ebay. maybe even more

I don't get it. What did you do with the 2nd wire?

@Al-bl6hc Ай бұрын

Where did the second wire end up going?

@w9hly Жыл бұрын

so the other wire that you don't use (coming from the switch) you just tuck in and don't worry about?

I can't figure out for the life of me how to wire my damn ceiling fan. I have never been more stumped in my life. My light went out and I figured that it'd be a simple fix. I couldn't have been any more wrong. My pull chain has one wire but I have no clue where it goes.

@KyleMerl 3 жыл бұрын

Yea they're all different so it's hard to say. How many lights are on it? Are there any groups of black wires that are wire nutted together?

@jackiedonkin5650 11 ай бұрын

Do you need to shut off electricity

@KyleMerl 11 ай бұрын

Yes. You should

@amandadellaquila7456 3 жыл бұрын

What if the replacement switch you buy has three wires (one black, one blue, one red) instead of just the two black? Where do the blue and red go?

@KyleMerl 3 жыл бұрын

If you have the correct switch there should be wires to match each of the wires on the new switch. You can look at how the original is wired up before removing it so you know how to wire up the new one correctly.

@@KyleMerl you have two black wires coming out and you wire nutted one of the black wires. Where did the other black wire go? That's my major problem and question, where is does that loose wire go? You did not show that part in the video. I replaced mine and the fan works but the light doesn't go on when I pull the chain and I assume because the looses wire needs to go somewhere? Please advise.

Lol they all should work pretty similarly. If you take it apart, take a picture at every step so you can always get it back together

@KyleMerl 10 ай бұрын

You can also use different colored electrical tape to make each wire that was connected to the same wire nut. So this way you're color coding the wires so you know how to put them back together

Hmm... check your electrical connections to make sure everything is wired correctly and that no wires came loose as you were putting everything back together
