for the Juice-tricians

I got a bit of a problem with the overhead fan in Dining room.some time back the dang switch on fan would only run on slow and medium so being a thrifty type person,,,,,i opened it up to see which switch to order and not finding one on web, wife wanted me to at least put together til i found switch. There were three 14 ga wires,,blue,black and white. The light used the blue and the white wires. Black wire went to fan switch,,,,SOMEWHERE,,,,!!!
There are four smaller 16 ga wires for fan. Purple, Gray, Yellow and Red. Don't really want to experiment and burn up fan motor so can the juicetricians here tell me which TWO wires to run fan on high with a regular pull switch?? Thanks for any and all help.

John's right.  If you know the brand and model of the fan, go to their web site, then click on support and you probably can download the manual for the fan.

Hey JC actually the dang switch fell apart when removing it!!!!
Lookin at the second dwg you posted looks to be the same as what was there before it fell apart.
What Id like to do is install a. Off/on pull switch for the High Speed Only and the heck with the medium and slow speeds.
Lookin at the dwg,,,could I install a pull switch between the big black (power) wire and the small red/yellow wires,,,??
What say ye,,,,??

if the pull switch is bad........... just hook the black and grey together to get HI.. green and brown and low and med........... black is HOT.

Hey Steve and Jay,,,, guess im gonna have to fess up,,, cause like a greenhorn,, i removed the pull switch, the reverser switch and the capacitor thinkin to replace the pull switch and some of the wires to the capacitor fell off,,,,, thas, sorta why i was askin for a diagram so' s ya' ll not be thinkin too bad bout ole Joe,,,,,,, Sooooooo im dependin on you juice- tricians to bail me out

When I redid the 'back room' ( used to be the 'hot tub' room ) I bought a unit from HomeDepot that has a remote control unit. BEST cash I laid out I, the Dutchies think(er, Know ) I'm cheap ! These units control fan and light without the need to pull a 3rd (red) wire (aka 14/3). It's been 15-18 years, used a LOT and works like a charm. I'm all for recycling and such but sometimes you deserve to splurge( like the BS23s sitting here...)

DJ, did you get the ceiling fan replaced yet? Saw am ad for these Big Ass fans the other day and I thought to myself "that is just what ole Joe needs."

Well,,,,as usual,,,,I took the advice of my friends here and took it out and put in a nice unit from Lowes as they had 3 of them on sale for a really frugal price of $39.95,,down from $117.00,,,!! They are the 52" brushed nickle with the 4 light kit and 3 speed and reversible motor. I told the salesperson I KNEW thet fellar from Nebraska that was friends with the Lowes CEO,,,,,, and,,,,and,,,she went to twitterin and stammerin and told me OK,OK,,,You can have it for ,,,,,,$39.95. Believe it or else,,,,,
I threw the old fan ona box for sale on my yard sale in the fall. Box already marked "Ran when Parked",,,
