Ceiling fan/light wiring help
So here's where I'm at. I have installed a new ceiling fan where an existing light was. There is one wall switch that controls the ceiling fan and light at the same time. I want to separate them and have either 2 switches for light and fan or do one that has those two in one. Either way, there is only 2 wires coming down into the current switch, because there was just a light there before. So my question is how do I go about getting the fan and light on separate switches when there isn't separate wires in the wall.

Welcome to the forums.
You would need to add an additional 2 wire cable from the fan to the switch.
Most times it's easier to just add a remote control.
Can be in place of the wall switch if the fan allows for that type of receiver.
