Ok, so I just installed a ceiling fan in my sons room. I have done this before and read the directions. As long as you dont turn the switch 'off' everything works fine.... if you flip the switch off to turn off the fan/light, the breaker trips.... I cant say I have ever had this happen before I certainly havent, although I have tripped breakers when turning a switch on... just not by turning it off.....
It had 2 blacks out of the ceiling and one black from the fan, and one blue to the light kit, I put these all together.
I had two white from the ceiling and one from the fan. These are together,
I copper from green screw on fan to ground on the ceiling mount. Copper from ceiling attatched to ceiling mount.
and let me reiterate, it only trips when turning the switch OFF
what in the world have I done?
