Does box#1 have a simple light, and box#2 have a fan with a light kit? And you want the wall switch to turn on both lights, and then be able to turn on the fan motor with the pull chain, independent of the switch? Is this all correct? And you ran black/red/white cable from box#1 to box#2, and also ran black/red/white cable from box#2 to the switch box? All true?
