Hi, I was hoping someone might be able to help me out. I have a hunter
ceiling fan with a seperate fan and light pull chain. My better half
pulled
the chain out of the fan switch, it was a 3 speed switch high, medium, low
&
off. I went to the depot and bought a new switch, it was a four wire
switch
so I bought the same thing. On the old switch, the wires were in the
following slots: L = black, 1 = grey, 2 = brown, 3 = green. So, I wired
the new switch with the colors into the same numbers. (However, the
numbers
were in different locations on the switch.) I started the fan and the
switch now switches with each pull as high, high, high, low then it
repeats.
No off or medium. I pulled the switch out and I matched the colors this
time to the same location from the old switch, L stayed in the same spot.
Reinstalled and it still goes high, high, high, low. Depot doesn't have
any
other 4 wire switches, so how do I get this thing to work right? Thanks!


Sounds like the switch is bad.

Gee, I wish I had your problem -- I replaced a fan switch and thought I was
careful to move the four wires to the same place on the new switch. But now
the fan doesn't work at all!
