Hey everyone, we've remodeled much of our house and are wanting to install a fan in our living room. We've ran new 14-2 and 14-3 wires, everything (from what I understand) is ran correctly with switches hooked up correctly from diagrams found online....but 14-2 wire sticking out from our ceiling is always hot.
Here is the order
Hot is coming in to switch by our front door, with hot black wire connected to bottom black screw on 3 way switch (white wires nutted and ground connected to switch), 14-3 black and red wires are connected to top half of switch and ran to other 3 way switch. Black and red wires are connected to the top of this switch as well with the black from the 14-2 going to the light/fan connected to bottom screw (ground connected and whites nutted). When turn power on switches do nothing to control on/off hence wire sticking out from ceiling is always hot.
Obviously Im no master electrician but this should work shouldn't it? With all the whites nutted together causing a problem? I even replaced the switches to see but same result
Please help...before our house burns down Thanks!
