Hi, really stumped here. I went to replace an overhead light with a ceiling fan/light combo and got it working, but then the rest of the room didn't have power.
The fixture has power to it and then goes to a 3-way switch. In the photo, the middle black is hot and the right one is not...the white wire on the left seems to come back from the switch. It seems like the hot should go to the switch and then come back, but I appear to be missing a wire for that. What am I doing wrong? Any advice is greatly appreciated so my wife can have cool air!
