I have a ceiling light that I want to replace with a ceiling fan kit (ceiling fan and light). I want to have the fan motor always on (controlled only by the pull chains) and I want to be able to control the ceiling fan light with the two 3-way wall switches.
The current configuration at the ceiling rectangular box has a single white wire and single black wire connected to the existing ceiling light, a black and white wire pigtailed together, and two red wires pigtailed together.
According to a DIY book I found at Home Depot my current configuration is "switch-fixture-switch".
Using a voltage tester, I can't find any wire that always has power regardless of the position of the wall switches.
Is it possible to achieve the desired result with the current wiring, or will I have to just leave the wall switches in the on position and control the light with the chains only?
It sound like it should be possible because of the number of wires you have. A normal light should just have the black and white.
Do you know where or what the red wire is for?
