The only way to change a 14-2 wire into a 14-3 wire is to physically remove the 14-2 and replace it with a 14-3.

How do you install a ceiling fan with red black and white wires?

Based on your description it is very likely that either the red wire or black wire is switched and the other is on all the time. In most cases the light of the fan, if it has a light, is connected to the switched wire and the fan is connected to the unswitched wire. This allows you to turn off the light while allowing the fan to remain running. There is no way to know without testing which wire is switched. The white wire is the neutral, connected to the white, or neutral, or common conductor of the fixture. There should also be a bare or green wire in the box to connect to the ground wire of the fixture.


Is there a difference between black wire and red wire?

Yes, the red wire is a positive wire (+) and the black wire is a negative wire (-) :D


How can you tell if the neutral lead is fried at the panel box?

You should be able to see the results of over heating. The white wire where it is terminated will turn to a dark brown colour. The terminal screw will probably be loose if you are able to turn it at all. Be careful when you work on the neutral wire as it may be carrying the unbalanced current from another circuit. If you disconnect it from the neutral bar while the panel is still energized, and you get between the end of the neutral and ground, you will receive a shock.


Should grooved wire be connected to white wire?

If you are referring to lamp cord type wire where both wires are brown then yes, connect the wire with the groves to the white neutral and the smooth wire to the black hot wire.
