You don't say if the pull chain is for the lights or fan, but usually the one in the light kit is for the lights. The correct wiring for the switch for the light kit is as follows: the blue (usually) wire from the fan connects to one of the wires (usually both black) on the switch. The other wire connects to the black wire(s) from the light socket(s).

The white wire(s) from the socket(s) connects to the white wire from the fan. If it is the switch to control the fan, then I'm afraid I would have to glower at it for a while and scratch my head before I figures out which wires went where, so I hope I am correct that it is the light switch. *blanket cautioning statemet* remember to turn off as much power as it takes to feel comfortable working with the wires when it comes time to reinstall the light kit.

I turn off the switch, the manual recommends turning off the appropriate breaker, and some people feel best turning off the main disconnect to the house. Make sure that when you put wire nuts on, they catch the wires securely and don;t leave conductors exposed. Sources: been doing this sort of thing for a while..

1 As a general rule, black connects with black and white to white. And on a light kit, which probably one of the simplest circuits there is, there's not much damage you can do. (If it were on the motor, it would be a different story.)To be positive, go to the website for the manufacturer of the fan, and download the manual.

But there's a 95% chance that white to white and black to black through the switch will do the job.

2 In the US, black is usually used as ground, and white as the connection to the live side of the switch. The switch simply either connects or disconnects power to the fan. If it is a multi-speed fan, then there are stages it goes through connecting through circuits that supply different voltages.Be sure to turn off the circuit breaker or unscrew the fuse for that circuit, and test with a voltmeter before attempting connections.

I speak from personal experience. Mine was in Germany where there is no ground, but a neutral, and wires have changed standard colors over the years.

TheLightWorks replied to post #2: 3 you got your colors backwards. In the US, White is the "neutral" (technically the grounded conductor - not to be confused with the groundING counductor - which is green or bare (or yellow/green striped if built for international use)) black (any color other than white/gray or green/yellow&green) is live. If I remember correctly, in europe, it is blue that is neutral.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
