Hello,

I am replacing an old bathroom ventilation fan and am looking for some help with the wiring. The old fan and light was controlled by one switch. The new fan, because my wife is expensive and irrational, has a bluetooth speaker and nightlight.

It seems to me like I will need to run another wire which would connect to the black from the fan and the black(switch connection) from the switch. The yellows would connect to the yellows and the red to the black(power) from the outlet.

Can someone please confirm if this is correct or correct me?

Thanks!

It looks as though you need a total of five wires going to the new fan.

Four wires, since the ground can be connected to the box right?

If the metal box is grounded by the conduit or a grounding conductor, then yes you can connect the ground wire to the box.

What about power for the blue tooth speaker ?
How do you intend to power that ?
Seperate feed ?
Or ganged with the fan or light ?

I believe it is ganged internally with the fan power. There are some additional connections from the fan housing to the cover which houses the speakers and LED lights.

Thanks for the help!
