I just installed a Ceiling fan in my bedroom and everything ok went fine
until I tryed to hook the wires up. From the outlet box all I have is two
wires Black (Hot) and White (neutral). So I hooked Ceiling fan wires Black
and Blue to the Black wire, and the Fan white wire to the outlet box white
wire. So What to do with the green ground wires? Well I had no place to put
it so I hook it up to the White neutral. It works just find, Neutral and
Ground is the samething right? I don't want to burn my house down.



Hi,
You mean the boix does not have bare ground wire attached to it?
I'd connect green to the box.
Ground and neutral are tied together at the panel but they does
different function, safety, current path.

Thanks everyone for your replys, my news sever is down so I have use
google groups to read and post to this thread. Yes the Blue and Black
wire are for the fan motor and light kit. I hook the green fan ground
wires to the white neutral wire because the neutral wire was already
being used as a ground wire for the old light socket I removed. I
wasn't to sure it was right, and I'm glad you guys replyed so quickly.

So all I have to do is get some copper wire, hook it up to the metal
outlet box and hook the green wires to that. Ok thanks. And to the the
person who talked about mounting the fan to a standard box. The fan is
very light weight and install guide said to use the standard box. I
don't think it will fall on me, but while I'm up there I'll try to make
it stronger.

Thanks again everyone. Thanks for nothing Toller .
