The only thing I can figure is there is a module or two in the wiring for the basic fan that is dividing voltage between fan speeds and the light, and a lightening strike took out the light side of the module. Fan works perfectly-the two light leads are clearly marked-I can't believe there is any wiring adaption needed to have voltage go to the light kit....has anyone else encountered difficulty installing a light kit on an existing ceiling fan?? Am I missing something??
My sister wants to remove the lights from her ceiling fan but does not have the cover. Since you won’t be needing it, may she have it? What brand fan is yours?
