Default Installing a new ceiling fan.

If you only have one wall switch, how did the old fan-light work? If the
light worked off the wall switch and the fan worked off the pull chain,
connect your greens and whites as you already described, connect the blue
(light kit) to your red, and connect your fan (black) to your black. If the
wall switch controls the fan instead of the light, just reverse the red and
black wire connections

Thanks Colby.

There's only 1 switch in the wall. There is a ground in the box.

Last attempt at this was capping the red coming out of the box and
yielded no result, so I'm thinking that it's atleast for the light kit.

Should I cap the blue on fan and connect the black on fan to black and
red on box? Or can I go blue and black fan wires to red and black box
wires?

Thanks a bunch.
