You've convinced me to get a switch. I just ran the wiring directly to the light fixture, with a switch along the way. It works great. The light fixture isn't my favorite option, but everything is capped and snug in their boxes, and I didn't have to guess what the heck is going on in that...

I wasn't planning on putting a switch on the fan. Do you suggest a switch, even though it turns on/off from the thermostat and cuts off if the motor overheats?

okay...I was hoping to do this the best way possible, but I'm now considering a new option. The attic has a light fixture with a pull-chain switch on it. Do you think I can simply tie the attic fan to that? Or would it be better to run a junction along the line to the light fixture?

nealtw...it's probably both. It's on a breaker with a three-way switch light...so that might have something to do with it.

Just tested it. The white (and the gray connected to it) are hot. The "load" is really the only one that doesn't consistently light up the moment I touch the detector to it. It did once or twice but very inconsistent.

I'm just trying to run a hot and neutral from the attic fan to this. So, I guess I have two options. In both options, I run the hot to load and other hot. But in option one, I tie the neutral to that neutral and hot. Or option two, I tie the fan's neutral to the cut-off neutral. I'm trying to...

nealtx...the load is a single wire with black cloth wrapping. There is no white (neutral) with it. The house is old with original wiring, so I've seen some funky things. My thought is that the dark wire farthest to the left is somebody's laziness, just trying to carry the neutral back with...

I'm hoping to wire my attic fan to a junction box in the attic. This is what I found in the junction box. I was hoping somebody could tell me what might be going on here, or how to proceed with wiring the attic fan directly to it. I also don't know where these wires lead. I assume the big...
