I removed the old fan & light. There are 3 wires coming out of the ceiling - white, black & red. The wires coming out of the new fan are white, black & blue. The fan is controlled by two switches - one on opposite sides of the room. The light is controlled by two switches - one on opposite sides of the room. You are supposed to be able to cut the light on or off from either and the same with the fan switches. I hooked the black to black, white to white, & green to green for ground. According to the instructions I am supposed to hook the blue wire coming out of fan with the black wires. What do I do with the Red wire - The old fan had a "zebra" looking wire that it was connected too but the new fan does not have one. I have tried every color combination, any suggestions?
