Need assistance on wiring. Ceiling fan only works when connected without remote. Replaced first remote and still same problem. I have two wall switches for fan and light. (2) Black/White/Grounds coming out of ceiling. Current wiring that operates fan and light without remote: 2 ceiling white/1 fan white, 1 ceiling black/1 fan blue, 1 ceiling black/1 fan black, 3 grounds. Any ideas on wiring with remote??? No success following fan wiring instructions..Thanks for any input.

Connect the 1 of the white cables to the remote line side white.

Connect the black from the same cable to remote line side black

Connect the black, blue and white from the fan to the same colors on the remote.

The other cable in the ceiling (and associated wall switch) will not be used. Insulate with wire nuts.

The wall switch must be left on to supply power to the remote.

thanks for the idea. I was unsuccessful. I tried each wall switch individually and nothing happened when remote connected. Its hard to believe I've had two bad remotes. Can't understand why light and fan work with the wiring above, but remote is still a no go. Ideas?
Thanks

With with a meter, verify you are 120 volts to the black/white you are connecting to the remote. Are you connecting the power to the correct black/white on the remote?

ok. Yes all connections are correct with no result, but when bypassing remote and using both switches everything works. Only idea is to try another remote....

Did you check the dip switches to make sure they are set the same in the remote and the receiver?

New battery?

checked dip switches and batteries and they are good. Can't figure this out.

I had a problem like this once where I forgot to remove the inconspicuous wrapping on the battery . Did you check this ?
