Hi brand new to this forum and wish I had read the helpful advice sticky before starting replacing my exhaust fan/light. I didn't pay attention to how everything was connected before I took out the existing fan. Now, I'm a bit confused. I have a bare wire, black, red and white coming from the double switch. On my new fan, I have a white and blue coming from light receptacle and white, black and green from the fan receptacle. Can anyone help me with my connections? Thanks in advance. If it helps, one switch controls fan and one controls light on removed fan.

All the whites connect together, all green and bare together. The black will connect to one of the colored fan wires, the red to the other colored fan wire.

If the switches do not operate the function they used to just swap the 2 colored wires.
