Home Improvement Asked by riotburn on July 19, 2021
I bought a used ceiling fan from Craigslist and just installed it. It’s a Hampton Bay fixture that takes intermediate size light bulbs. Only one of the four lights works. The weird thing is, if I take the bulb and put it in the opposite side then that works. If I then put another bulb in its place, the extra bulb won’t work. Adjacent sides don’t work at all. Also when I turned the fan on, it was touching the little part that sticks out from the chain. The light fixture was a little crooked so I bent it back.
How can I fix it?
It's not wired correctly. There is some series circuiting going on. Wire the lights in parallel (or get someone who knows to do it).

Check the tab in the bottom of the socket that touches bulb when screwed in. Turn off power and bend tab slightly up. If this isn't it, it is a wiring or dimmer issue.
