Coming from my ceiling I have a black, a grey, 2 white, 2 bare and a red wire. Coming from my ceiling fan/light fixture is a green, black, black with a white stripe and a white wire. How exactly would I go about wiring this? It is a two switch setup without a remote.Thank you in advance.
Call the manufacturer about your ceiling fan. It may be designed to work with a light kit. I've done this myself. The grey and red sound like wiring that works with the light kit. The black, white, and green wires are hook to your house wire. (House wire is black, white, and bare (ground)).
I have hooked up ceiling fans and your question is common. Did the fan come with intructions, does the fan have a light attached. Find the correct breaker and turn it off. First hang the fan where you can assemble the wires together. Black wire to black wire. One white from the ceiling to one white. The bare wires one of these wires grounds to either the metal box you attached the fan to or to one of the srcews. Keep the wires from touching. Maybe the green to the grey. I hate to tell you to guess from here. all you can do is trip the breaker if not correct,
You have too many wires coming from the ceiling, as it could have done (for separate fan and light control) with a black, red, white, and ground (like 14/3 w/ground romex). Someone apparently added a second run of wire up there. Up at the fan, determine which wire on the fan runs the motor, likely a black fan wire, and which powers the lights (likely a blue fan wire). Connect each to its own switch, preferably using the black you have for the fan, and say the red for the lights, tie the whites together, and the bare together. And the grey just gets ignored. This is gonna be good...
