[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 302579, member: 1607"] Welcome to the forum, how did the old fan operate? if you say you have two dead cables, are you sure they cannot be energized from somewhere else, or are they loop out supplies to other accessories on the circuit?. Is the permanently live cable still live when your light is off? Re the pull-cord operation and run-on timer option. If the fan has no power indication neon then the two items can be a non-logical/intuitive operation, i.e. most pull cord fans are a toggle switch operation, pull once to switch on then then pull again to switch off. If the fan also has run-on timer pulling the cord to turn off, would appear to make no difference so a user may then try repeated cord pulls with the possibility of it being left permanently on. A pneumatic timer switch with just a manual fan could be another option to consider if you have a suitable position to mount a switch.
