How do I connect or wire a Harbor Breeze fan with light to 2 switches?

Ceiling Fan Admin

There is a variety of different models available in relation to Harbor Breeze Ceiling Fans. This is a step by step guide that will explain how to connect a Harbor Breeze fan and light to two switches, however because these instructions are mostly generic, the same steps can apply to many other ceiling fans. Typically, the colors of the wires that you see below are very common with many different makes and models of ceiling fans. As always, if you need more help and you are not able to find the answers you are looking for on this page, we do implore you to leave a comment. We’ll do our best to look for an answer to your question, and either add it here to this page, or create another page here at Your Ceiling Fan to review the question and answer it as in-depth as we can.

If requiring only one switch for the fan and one for the light:

  • Neutral: white wire. The light and fan both will have a white wire for neutral – this is common
  • Red: Positive for light and  fan – one red wire for each one  – Hot
  • Black: Hot
  • Bare wire: Ground

Start by testing power at breaker – ensure there is no power –  use a non-contact voltage tester if at all possible. Be aware of possible electrical shock, so non-contact is best.

Find all of the green grounding wires, or bare, and connect them together.

Look for white wire from ceiling – connect it to the remote receiver module – white wire, inside of the fan

  • Black wire – connect from ceiling to the remote receiver module inside of the fan – black wire
  • Blue wire – connect it from the output side of the remote receiver system, inside the fan to the blue wire inside of there
  • Red wire – connecting from the output side of the fan’s receiver module

Finding Harbor Breeze End Caps

Ceiling Fan Admin

Like many parts for Harbor Breeze Ceiling Fans, finding an end cap can be challenging. When looking around on Google there are many websites that you will find. All of them say they have end caps available, but looking closer none of them do. Even looking at Home Depot or Lowe’s, it appears that very few end caps for Harbor Breeze Ceiling Fans seem to be available.

Hey, we’re just providing the information and knowledge here after taking a look around, just like you. Due to the fact that it’s difficult to even find these end caps from first party retailers, that means that most third party websites you find from Googling aren’t going to be able to offer the end caps either. In most situations, you’ll likely have to buy the end caps used rather then buying a brand new ceiling fan. Of course, we encourage you to reach out to the manufacturer directly using the available phone numbers we’ve been able to provide here.

Finding Harbor Breeze End Caps can be challenging. When looking on the home depot website, as well as Lowe’s, they don’t really seem to have much to offer in this regard. If the major retailers don’t have the parts, it’s not exactly an easy find for other smaller websites that use the major retailers for their supply chain and logistics.

The only place we’ve been able to find or procure end caps from is eBay. Again, just being honest here. Even if you find some replacement end caps, chances are you may not be able to find the specific one for your model. We recommend the following course of action if looking for Harbor Breeze end caps:

  • Call the manufacturer and ask them what end caps will be compatible with your fan. For this, you’ll need the make and model details of your fan first. If you’re not sure what that is, read our article on figuring out the make and model of fan you have.
  • Ask the manufacturer or any support line you can talk to, for the part numbers of end caps that are compatible with your fan
  • Scour the Internet for those part numbers. Try Googling for the part numbers, or searching for them on Ebay.

Here’s an example of some end caps you can find on Ebay.com. Finding them online elsewhere seems to be a challenge. The end caps are not expensive, they’re just difficult to find at any other retailers then Lowe’s

We haven’t had success on Amazon.com or .ca for these specific end caps. However, should that change in the future, we’ll be sure to update you!
