help with installing fixture in bathroom HELP!

12 years ago

I took down a ceiling fan/light to put up a pendant light. Everything was going smoothly til I got to the wiring. There were two lines coming in, one I assumed was for the light and one for the fan. (It was all on one switch, tho) So I thought, well, I'll try each one to see which is the one I need.

I've tried every combination there was, only one worked with the exception that it wouldn't shut off!! The one thing I didn't do was wrap the 2 different lines together and then add on the fixture wiring. I've installed a lot of fixtures and have never run into this before. Maybe there's something at the switch box I need to move?

Hope someone has some ideas that will help! I'm done working with it til I find something out. Thanks!
