Hi, I don't have much experience with electrician stuff, so please excuse my ignorance.
I'm trying to install a bathroom fan/light. The unit has 3 wires coming out of it (2 white, 1 black). My wire coming from the wall switch has one black, one white, and a bare copper wire.
I connected the 2 white wires from the fan/light to the white wire, and the black to the black wire. I did nothing with the bare copper wire (just taped it up).
The fan works fine when you flip the switch, but the light does not work at all. The bulbs are fine.
So, where did I go wrong? I'm sure my wiring is the cause, but why does the fan work but not the light?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated, thanks!
