here is what i think i need to do. at the ceiling fan i have a blue,black & white wires. feed in is 2 wire, 3 wire out to switch at end of run. cf blue to 3 wire red / 2 wire feed white to cf white / 2 wire feed black to 3 wire white(marked hot) / cf black to 3 wire black. then at the switch i have a yellow, red & black wires. switch red to 3 wire red(light), switch yellow to 3 wire black(fan), switch black to 3 wire white(marked as hot). all correct i hope! cf blue is for light, cf black is fan/ hot, cf white is fan/ neutral. switch is a lutron s2-lfsq dual slide dimmer. switch yellow is for fan, switch red is for light, switch black is for hot(feed). please respond asap, i need to know if this is correct. i'm leaving for work on the road within the week. i don't want to leave the family with unfinished lights & fans. THANKS :thumbup:

I'm assuming the feed comes in at the ceiling & the 3 wire is a switch-leg to the Lutron control.If thats the case then all looks O.K to me.
