If the fan will not turn on -- first check the circuit breaker.

Sometimes the starting capacitor goes bad which will prevent a good motor from starting. In that case you need a competent electrical service man to replace the bad capacitor. Sometimes the switch to which a chain is connected goes bad, in which case you also need a competent electrical technician/serviceman to replace the switch. If the switch and the capacitor are good, than it is probably a bad motor, in which case you buy a new fan.

How do you rewire a wall switch to control both ceiling fan and light. The switch currently furns the fan on and off but the light has to be controlled with a pull chain?

Open up the ceiling box and disconnect the blue wire coming from the light and connect it to the black wire coming from the fan. Be sure and put a wire nut on the wire where the light was connected before you removed it. The wall switch is controlling power to the wire where the fan is connected so when you connect the blue fan wire to that connection you will be sending power to both the fan and light from the wall switch.
