QUESTION: Ceiling fixture has 3 wires: black, white, and red.

Is black "hot", white "neutral", and red "ground"?

Thanks.

Red should never be ground. Ground is Green or bare (in US)

Thanks.

Also, if the system is wired for a ceiling fan, then white is neutral,
black is for the fan/light, and the red is for the light/fan, as you
choose. Is there an extra switch on the wall that doesn't seem to be
doing anything? Ground will be green or bare (most likely).
