Replacing a ceiling fan pull chain light switch
I am replacing a ceiling fan light kit switch. It is a pull chain switch with a black wire, a blue wire and a red wire. The pull chain switch controls four lights and a single light which is below the 4 lights. The switch allows all lights to be off, all lights on, or the top 4 lights on only or the bottom light on only.
The fan and light kit is controlled by a single wall switch
I have a single black wire, a wire nutted cluster of four black wires and a wire nutted cluster of five white wires inside the light fixture. To which of these do I connect the blue wire, the red wire and the black wire from my switch?
Thanking you in advance for any help you can give me.

That is strange
normally a 3 wire switch could only be able to control 2 things + off. black would be common, red would be one fan speed or set of lights and blue would be the other fan speed or set of lights.
if it is a replacement, couldn't you just hook it up like the switch you are removing?
most likely the black wires are grounds for everything and white would be power. hook it up however you like. white power would hook up to the black wire on the switch and then the blue to one light and red to the other set of lights white wires.
good luck!
