It's probably not a single wire you're looking at. It's probably a cable containing two wires. One phase wire, and one neutral wire.

What does the red wire do in the ceiling?
You connect it with the same hot wire as the black wire in the fan. It is intended to be tied to a different switch. One for the fan, and one for the light kit.
In the US where do the blue red green and white wires on a fan go to when the ceiling has red black bare copper and white wires?
Black to Black - Black from the ceiling is a hot wire and should be switched Red to Blue - Red wire is another hot wire and should also be switched White to White - White from the ceiling is the neutral and should not be switched. Your wall should have two switches, one will control the red wire, one will control the black wire. If you wire your fan as above, one switch will turn the fan on, the other will turn the light of the fan on.
If you have a switch wired red and black and a fan that calls for black and white where does the red wire go?
It sounds like your fan also has a light with it. If your wall switch is a two gang box with two switches in it most likely one switch is for the light on only and the other switch is for the fan on only. This can be checked out by installing the fan and making the connection green to green, white to white, black to black. Turn on one of the switches and see if the fan operates. Disconnect this connection and then connect the red wire to the black fan wire. Turn the other switch on. If the fan turns on again, then the two switches were installed to operate the fan and light separately. If this is the case disconnect the red and fan black wires and reconnect the black to black. This is the fan connection. Connect the red to blue fan wire and this is the light on the fan connection.
What to do if There is no ground wire in the ceiling box but the new fan has one?
If the wiring system in your house is that old, then there is nothing that you can do that is not going to cost you more money than what you paid for the fan. Just wrap the wire up and push it to the back of the ceiling box and enjoy your new fan.
How do you connect a ceiling fan with white green black and blue wires on the ceiling fan?
Black wire goes to (line) which is 110v comming in to ceiling box from light switch. It will connect to either black or red, which ever they ran. White is neutral and connects to white in box. Blue is for the light kit if you are using one. You may also connect it to the black if you just use the chain to turn on light.

How can you wire a 3 wire attic fan to a 2 wire thermostat?
If your thermostat is designed to switch the fan on and off at say 120 volts, then it acts just like a switch. This means that you insert the two wires from the thermostat in series with the black wire going to the fan. So let's say you have a supply of power for fan that has black, white and bare wire ground. You connect the white to white on fan and ground to ground. You then connect one wire of the thermostat switch to supply black and one to fan black wire. If you are unsure of the type of thermostat or anything else get an electrician. This is just one possible solution given the information provided.

How do you connect a ceiling fan with white green black and blue wires one the ceiling fan?
This sounds like a ceiling fan that also has a light attached to it. The black and white wires are used for the incoming supply voltage. The green is the ground wire. The blue wire is most likely the wire that goes to the lamp portion of the ceiling fan. The black and blue wires are separated from each other in the fixture so that the fan motor and the light can be independently switched. In these types of installations a three wire cable is strung from the fan switch box to the fixture box.For independent switching, the junction box should be a two gang box. From the power source in the switch box, the white wires all connect together. The incoming black connects to the top of the two switches in the two gang box. Bottom of the first switch to the black in the three wire cable, Bottom of the second switch to the red wire of the three wire cable.At the fixture junction box, incoming white wire to the fan white wire. Incoming black wire to the fan black wire and incoming red wire to the fan blue wire. If wired this way the light and fan motor can be individually switched on and off.If there is only one switch box, at the fan junction point connect the black and blue wires together to the incoming black wire. White to white wires together and green wire to the ceiling junction boxes ground terminal. In this configuration the switch will turn on both the fan and light at the same time.
How do you change the heater fan on a 1992 tempo with ac?
Remove the glove box. You can now see the fan. About 5 or 6 little screws to remove, un plug the wire contact, and remove. Might be a little tight, but it will come out only one way. There is a flat side on the fan casing. Just keep moving it around to get it out. There is only this one fan.
How do you connect a ceiling fan to a regulator?
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.
Why does my Ceiling fan light gets no power unless you touch it?
You didn't give enough information to know. One possibility could be a loose wire connecting the fan to power. When you jiggle the fan it makes connection. Check the wire nuts inside the fan connection box.
How do you check y the fan behind radiator won't turn on?
Most of the time, it is a bad temperature sender. Most cars have two of them, one for the gauge or light and one for the fan. One is usually by the thermostat housing and the other should be on the head somewhere. The one for the gauge should have two wires to it and the one for the fan only one. You can unplug the wire running to the sender with the one wire and ground it out with a wire or just touch it to the engine. If the fan comes on, that's the problem. Cars vary, so the switch should be in the run position, but the car does not need to be running. Check the fuses first, both under the hood and inside. It can be a relay in the box under the hood also. You can check the fan by running power and ground to it to see if it runs.
