3 wire cable switch legs from first ceiling outlet down to a 2 gang box for the first set of switches for ceiling fan light control.

Ceiling fan separate switches. I also used a diagram picture thanks for watching. Ceiling fan and light on separate switches i have a power wire from a junction box in the attic to the ceiling box for the fan. The wiring will need to be reconfiguration to allow routing the power through the new switch and then to the device to be switched separately.

Or you can wire one to a pull chain and other to a switch. Your power supply line the black wire should be feeding both switches and those switches power the fan black or the light blue. To do this method the wire from your wall circuit to your light has to have 3 wires.

In the fan light junction box attach the white wire neutral from the switch box which is connected to the white from the panel to either the common neutral connection on the fan light some fan light combinations common neutral connector which makes things easier for situations such as this one or wire nut pigtail the white wire to the separate white neutral wires for the fan and light.

It has black white and ground in it. A separate cable will need to be installed from the wall switch box to the junction location where the wiring is located for the exhaust fan and the light. In both switch box and fan light box all grounds should be connected wire nut together.

Some can even operate a dimmer on the lights. We ll be talking about the first method since it s more prevalent for usage. A remote controlled ceiling fan bypasses one of the wall switches and allows for remote access to the ceiling fan s workings.
