I installed 2 fans in 2 of my rooms in the house. The two rooms are on the same circuit breaker, so I turn off the circuit breaker for the rooms and power to both of the rooms are off.
In room 1 I install the fan to work so that the light and fan are controlled separately with a 3-speed fan switch and a dimmer light switch and everything works fine. I go to do the same thing in room 2, install the fan and light to work independently with a 3-speed fan switch and a dimmer light switch. The thing that I notice in room 2 is that is has more wire connects than room 1. Room 2 has 4 black cooper wires from wall (1 shared w/the fan switch and dimmer switch), 1 red, and 2 ground wires. When I connect the wires as I did in room 1, the fan and light work fine. After the connections I was left with 2 black copper wires from the wall from room 2. When I go back to room 1 to turn on the light, fan, and tv it doesn't work.
I go to rm 2 connect 1 of the remaining black wires from the wall to fan switch and turn the fan switch to high. When I do this both rooms work as well as the tv, but I can only put the fan on high from the fan switch. When I turn the fan switch to med or low the fan stops working as well as everything in room 1.
