What model do you have. There are a few confusing details there.
Yes, maybe too complex, I'll try to change the speed settings this week, and drop the timer settings, it's been a while since I stuck my head in there to see where it's at, I think I set it at the max, 150 cam, but maybe, if it's going to be on 24/7, it should be lower. If I can ever see it, the Hi/Low (Red) with make a difference, I'll know I'm on the right track. Today was the first time for me to see that second wiring diagram, but I do need to do some checking tomorrow.That is one complex system for a bathroom fan. I’ve read through the controls part of the manual a few times and am starting to get the idea how to configure the options. How is it that you’d like the two fans to work, with respect to the night light, humidity control and motion sensor modules?
If I’m interpreting the manual correctly, the reason to buy the variable speed module would be if the homeowner wanted to run the fan at low speed continually for house ventilation purposes and at higher speed for limited duration ventilation of the bathroom. If a homeowner wants to just do the latter of those two options, they don’t need the variable speed module (I think...).

Well, if so, it should be running low, and boost on either Motion or Condensation, assuming those modules are plugged in, have never seen that, so far...The way I read it is the fan stays on 24/7 on the main switch and the fan goes to high speed on the red wire switch and stays high speed until you turn it down.
If you have a motion sensor, it would be in the center of the grill that has a blue light when activated.Well, if so, it should be running low, and boost on either Motion or Condensation, assuming those modules are plugged in, have never seen that, so far...
I'm still a tad confused that I can't seem to affect anything with that Red wire switch... As noted above I need to pop the cover see where what is...
At one time I was disappointed that I was limited to just to modules other that the speed/timer, but at this point I'd be happy to see either motion or condensation make a change... I can't reach it without a ladder, I did fiddle quite a bit last year, got nowhere..
(Thanks for looking!)
I watched the video again. It says you can tell if the motion sensor is working because of the light. So maybe you have no power to it or bad ones.Thanks again, I've tried it all, but part of my headache, maybe the key, is that I have never seen any action from the Motion Detector, no little light in that sensor, ever. Yet the fan runs, manually, the light, as well, so the unit has power, but seems to be ignoring the plugin modules.. I attached a couple pics, , but I think my next move is to call Panasonic.
I couldn't find a photo of the connecting box on the side of the unit, pretty sure the 'electricians' had closed them up before I had a chance to see them. But since there is power, and the red leads were run, connected, it's hard to imagine how it could be messed up.
I notice there is a later, L2, version, "Panasonic FV-11-15VKL1 150 CFM Ceiling Mounted Customizable Bath Fan with Light and Adjustable Vent Rates" I have the L1, so maybe there was a need for a change. More info that points me to call Panasonic...

At best, they have the answer, at worst, I have to live with what I have.
Thanks for the help, it shouldn't be this complex...
