I am wiring a ceiling fan with power (14-2) at the ceiling and 14-3 going down to the switch. There is a wall socket the also needs to be connected below the switch(es). I have left the WHITE (Common) from the 14-2 power open to use with the ceiling fan. I have attached the WHITE (14-3) to the BLACK (14-2 power). The WHITE (as a HOT) is connected to one side of a double, single pole switch (brass screw side). The BLACK & RED are connected to the silver screw side of the switch(es) and are going back to the ceiling for the light/fan power. The base plug is below the switch. Can I hook the WHITE (common on the base plug) to the "open" brass screws on the HOT side of the switch? The BLACK is pigtailed to to the WHITE (as a HOT) before it connects to the switch. If I connect the WHITE (Common for the base plug), will that complete the circuit and have constant power?
