Lighting, Light Fixtures, Ceiling and Exhaust Fans - Wiring 2 switches in kitchen

http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/1046/electricalsetup5xf.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

The above image shows my issue.
I have a switch for a fan and a switch for a kitchen light that become dislodged, a wire came out somewhere while doing some demo work. I'm trying to figure out where wire C plugs in to. Plugging it into D, E, or F made the lightswitch box begin to smoke.

I appologize if it seems wired funny, thats the way it was. Can anybody help me out? I have to keep the power off in that part of the house until I figure out whats going on.

Thank you sooo much!:)

Does the light work?

It seems the wire should go on the red wire, or black might be the hot, where a black each from the switch should go to the black from the wall, and the output from each to the red and blue, blue likely the light.

On the light swwich the green connects tothe box ground, and should not be connected to that yellow wire.

Both the fan and the light completely don't work.

The green/yellow connection I think remained intact during my little shakup. Would it make sense that the green/yellow is for a non-existant 3-way setup?

Give you a quick warning the green wire is for grounding only and you should cap the yellow wire alone and i hope you did not smoke that device at all.


i can see what you did wrong you have to change the connection there

the connection B and E have to be wirenutted together this is the power feed there .

a extra wire from fan controller " C " go to the " F " wirenutted together.

red wire from dimmer to red wire that is to the light

the yellow wire it have to be capped off alone and green wire is for ground wire.

i just hope you did not smoke this dimmer at all

if work but at wrong location just swap one of two wires going to the fan/ light lumiaire

if more question please do ask us here

Merci . Marc

Thank you, i'll try that setup tomorrow when I have a partner to flip the main power for me. You said to cap the yellow wire. what is to be done with the green?

Thank you french277V, your setup gets the lights working in the kitchen. The box for the lightswitch smokes though when there is power going to it. Will a new lightswitch fix this? or will a new switch smoke as well? Should I modify my wiring setup? anybody?

Thanks!
