20 year old Hampton Bay fan requires new 3-speed pull chain fan switch replacement. I did not copy the wiring pattern for the L, 1, 2 and 3 positions. There are 3-wires: black, white and blue
I need the wiring diagram for the black, white and blue wires to the new ZING EAR pull chain switch for positions L, 1, 2 and 3.

Typically AC wire protocol designated black = line voltage (means \'death\') and white is neutral (cold).
The blue one will be a switched line to the motor and a meter capable of checking continuity should allow you to determine the proper wiring.
On the new switch there are four female locations but the wires that I disconnected from the old switch were three that remain hanging from the fan: black, white and blue.
It almost sounds like the switch you received may not be the one you needed. Note the last comment on this page:http://www.ehow.com/how_8295465_replace-...
