Default Fan Switch Replacement, what is a "Light Kit"?

Hi all,

I am trying to replace the 3 speed fan switch in my celing fan/light. The
original problem was that we could not turn off the fan when the lights were
turned on, using the fan switch had no effect on the fan. The replacement
fan switch instructions say that "If a light kit is present, remove it, also
noting the Light Kit wire connections". There was a little black box wired
to the old fan switch, the black box was about 1.5" by 1" and had some
lettering on it, one of which said "CBB6-1". Anyways, I replaced the old
light switch with the new light switch, now the lights will come on, but the
fan will not work. I hear a low hum when i switch fan switch. My question
is: is that black box the "light kit" that i need to remove? Is that
probably why my fan switch is not working? Thanks!
