cf ceiling fanlf old light fixtureI took down the old light fixture and there are 4 wires total; 2 white wires. Then there is 2 black taped off wires. The 2 white wires were the only wires connected, separately to the old light fixture. I tested all of the wires and all are hot except 1 white wire. I assumed that was ground. I installed my ceiling fan as follows; cf white wire to lf white wire. cf ground wire to non-hot lf white wire. cf black and black/white wire to only 1 lf black wire. I taped off the other hot black wire because i didn't think i needed to connect it. Turned light switch on, nothing. Fan does not work, light in fan does not work. Did I connect the wires incorrectly----- HELP! Thanks!
You didn't say if you had a wall switch. This matters. Generally, both white wires are spliced together and these are the neutral. The 2 black wires are both hot. The ground wires are green or bare copper. You should have 2 black wires coming out of the light/fan; these are hot and are spliced to 2 hot wires from the ceiling fixture. Always black to black and cap these off. You hooked up the white neutral wire to the ground wire which is incorrect. If you don't have a ground wire coming out from the ceiling fixture which would be green or bare copper, just hook the ground wire from the light/fan to the metal plate in the ceiling. Good Luck!
