I installed a **** with a light kit and a remote control. I also followed the instructions to have a separate switch for the light and one for the ****. The light switch does not work unless the **** switch is turned on . If the **** is turned on the light switch works fine. Is this normal? If not, how can I correct it?

It is not normal for the Hunter ceiling fan light switch to only work when the ceiling fan switch is turned on. This issue is likely caused by incorrect wiring. To correct this, check the wiring connections at the wall switch and ceiling fan to ensure the light and fan are wired to receive power independently. If unsure, consult the fan’s installation manual or seek help from a qualified electrician.
