  1. Bad connection on the neutral (white wire)  My guess is if you didn't touch anything in the switch that controls the fixture and just messed with the fixture itself; a neutral wire is unaccounted for in the light receptacle junction box.


  2. you must have disconnected something on the outlet.

  3. Was the outlet working before the fan replacement? If it was look in the box you mounted the fan to and make sure you didn't accidentally disconnect a wire that feeds through to the outlet.

  4. Go to homedepot they know everything its amazing

  5. USA    I am not sure where the power comes from.  However, I would venture that a wire is loose inside one of the wirenuts on the hot (black) or the neutral (white) wires.  Take the connections apart.  Make sure the stripped length of wire is the same for all conductors.  Line up the tips of the conductors, and put the wirenuts back on.  Make sure no bare wire extends beyond the shell of the wirenut.

  6. So...where is ur plug?  U should have another 3 lines...Bl/wt/ gn/or bare copper?  If ur plug is on the same line as ur fan, the reason it's not working is the power to the plug is burnt out or loose.  So, u need to take the plug out and check the connections.  U hooked up to the fan wires correctly.  Now just look at the plug and see if anything burnt.  U might have to replace the plug.
