- I'll show you guys just how easy it is to change the pull cord in your ceiling fan. If your kids are as spirited as mine, they may cost you a few dollars over time in the form of repairs. I'm here to tell you, that there are quite a few fixes you can do on your own that will save you a few pennies.
Here's a list of tools I used during this repair

This video tremendously helped me. I too was replacing the pull chain that went to the light. I made the should have known better mistake of not taking any pictures of the wiring before replacing it. I was able to connect the two black wires to the switch and the light came on.
After tucking everything back in and mounting the back-to-ceiling fan the light would not come on. So, I took the whole thing down again and I had a random white wire not connected to anything. The white wire was coming from the fuse (the thing you cut out) your video scene at 2:12 saved the day for me as I could trace all my wires from the scene at 2:12. I didn’t have to cut anything out and everything still works. Thanks again for having this video. It really saves the day for me.
Chad, I’m so glad this video was able to help you. Thanks for watching!
thank you for the educational vid, haven’t had good light in my room for months.. literally led me to the light LOL
Lol. I’m glad it helped
And I was going to buy a new fan. Thank you for saving me money.
Happy to help!
Thanks! Very helpful. I have the same light fixture so this gave a lot of information that I needed.
Absolutely! I’m glad it helped
This video is so good, that I was able to install the new fan pull chain unit in real time as the video played. Bravo.
Love this. I’m glad it helped.
Fantastic! MUCH appreciated with the heat of Summer coming on!
Of course. Happy fixing.
I am about to order a pull switch from Amazon now.
Do it! You got this!
Hey mister, you *is* a genius!

Thanks so much for your great video. You made it easy to understand and I could see everything. great camera coverage Thanks again my fan is now fixed😊
I’m glad it helped. Thanks for the kind words.
Yeah thanks bro for this informative video, very clear and straightforward... totally appreciate that. 👌 Like you said... I too am all for DIY'ing repairs on things, and saving money in the process. Also learning how stuff works along the the way. Your guidelines are so helpful as I'm trying to repair/replace the pull switches for two of the light/ceiling fan fixtures in my neighbors apartment, and want to make sure I get it right... thanks again! 👍
Thanks man. I appreciate the kind words and good luck on your repairs

Glad i could help
I am not a certified anything but I gained the nickname jack as a child because I was always a curious tinkerer. If you gave me a remote control car a week later I'd have it torn apart learning the ins and outs and seeing what I can do with the parts. One year for Christmas I got a remote control car and did exactly that. At first mom was upset with me for destroying it but later she came into my room to find I had made a flying helicopter out of the car motor and a few other things. She walked in just after it started to fly and watched it go up start spinning go sideways and crash into the wall. I didn't know at that age and time the rear rotors purpose so I failed to add one in. Over the years this continued and I could never just have one thing sit like it origanally was and do one job at work. At every job I've had I learned my job and ended up halfway across the floor learning to say weld or run a machine. So in the end I've learned to do a lot. Yet still every time I get ready to do something I take a refresher course so to speak on how to make sure I don't miss anything or screw it up.
From climbing up a giant termite ridden tree and cutting it down from over a house to electrical mechanics you name it to date I've never had much of a problem.
Thanks in part to the wealth of information and videos like this that teach.
I'm actually about to fix a fan switch tomorrow myself. Just a couple of years ago I replaced a fan in someone's house and about six months ago i replaced a light with a fan. Yet still I come looking for a refresher to be safe.
So Thank you.
Thanks. I like your approach to life. There is information everywhere. We just have to go out and seek it.
You made that look so easy!
Thanks.
Thx for the video. 👍🏽
Thanks for the watch!
Great video!!! Thank u for doing it!!!
I appreciate you
Thanks a million!
Cheers!
Great video bro im going to use this video to try and fix my fan over my porch thanks
Of course
Thank you RSBI • 👍🏻
🙏
I like the Intro Bro looks good.
Thanks brother

👍🏾
Nice tutorial video. Thank you. Still afraid just of the look of wires :) but will know now how to repair it. One question: how to know what part to buy and if it fit? Thank you.
You can look up the model of your fan and research the part that failed. Outside of that I would google, visit forums, and check here on UA-cam for someone experiencing the same problems you are
Thx for your video! Clarifying question, was this chain to operate the fan or to operate the light? For me the one to operate the light was pulled out. Is the process to fix the same? Thank you!
Hi. Happy to help. It was light, but the process is exactly the same.
I have a harbor breeze ceiling fan that needs a new light switch chain. Are these chain switches Universal?
Gabrielle, I couldn’t say yes with 100% certainty. I recommend removing the old one to verify before purchasing.
Nice. They need to stop making ceiling fans so cheap. I don't have the patients but good vid
Thanks. I appreciate that.
The video is helpful, but why so much work with cutting the easy connector, all was needed was to cut the Back wire and hook the new one on that and the other end in the light 3way connection with the twist nut
I respect your method. I think k we can all agree that there are multiple ways to get the job done. Thank you for sharing yours
damn hes purdy
Lol
Was I the only one waiting for him to use the pull switch?
Probably
