I bought a ceiling fan light kit from Lowe's and installed it per the directions - connecting the white and black wires to the white and blue "light fixture" wires inside the base of the fan - but without success.

When I tested the white and blue wires there is no power there, even when the fan is going round.

There is no sign of a switch inside the fan, and no suggestion in the installation instructions that these wires aren't automatically live (they had plastic insulators screwed on to the ends)

Any ideas on how to get them "energised"?

Is it likely that when the fan was originally installed these wires just weren't connected?

I have turned on every switch in the room just in case :-)

Thank you
