If both wires are black, the one that connects to your white wire is the one that should have little writing on it. Black to the plain black wire, white to the wire with writing.
First make sure there is no power going to the regulator. You find the wires that are coming from the j box or regulator. You then wire one of each wire to one of each wire to the ceiling fan. You then tape the wires together but separate from each other. Then you continue to finish hanging the fan.
just did one. Cut the three wires and remove it. Then join the black to the red and the white to the white. Thats all it takes
With a voltage detector or a multi meter. Don't touch the wires to your tongue. That would be bad!
If both wires are black then the one with the writing is the neutral wire. If the two wires are black and white then the white one is the neutral.
Black is hot and white is neutral.

You simply need to match up with wires on the ceiling fan with the wires in the ceiling. Remember Black is always hot! http://www.harborbreeze-ceilingfans.com/
Wire nuts
Yes.
To hide pipes, wires or duct work.
If there are two black wires, it's possible that it was wired for a ceiling fan and that one of the wires is for the fan part while the other is for the light part. If so, one of the black wires may be switched while the other is always "on." Normally black is "hot" and white is "neutral" (NOT ground... ground is usually green).
Assembling a ceiling fan is really easy. First take it out of the box and place all the blades around the center of the fan. Then connect the whole unit to the ceiling with the wires.
Follow this step to take off the light that came with ceiling fan. Turn ceiling fan on, and you may unscrew the light bulb. After that remove the screw that holding the fan canopy. Look the wire connector and hold the sensor against the wires. Untwist the wire connector to release the wires. Wrap the end of the ceiling fan.
It will have 2 black or brown wires. Look very closely at the wires coming from the light. One of the wires will have ridges on it or may have a white line or some other method of identification. That wire is the neutral wire and connects to the white wire in the ceiling box. The smooth wire is the hot wire and connects to the black wire in the ceiling box.
Disconnect the fixture wires and remove the central mounting nut to release the dome from the light fixture in a ceiling fan.
pot luck, without knowing exactly where wires in ceiling are, can easily drill through heating wire.
