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!
