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.
The fan wiring is as follows, black for fan, blue for light (if there is one) and white is the circuit neutral. Three wires to the ceiling box suggest that there are two switches on the wall box. One that controls the light and one that controls the fan. At this point you have to decide which switch you want to control the fan and which switch you want to control the light and connect them accordingly to the fan wire colours in the ceiling box.
Black is ground, so the red would go to white
You switched the power and switch wires. There should be two sets of wires in the ceiling box. 2 black, 2 white, 2 bare. Two groups of three. The white wire going to the light is the incoming wire. The black one in that group is the power coming in. Take that black wire and connect it to the other black wire. The second black wire goes to the switch. The power comes back to the light on the white wire of that set. Connect that white wire to the black wire in the fixture. The switch should work now. That is if everyone wired the house the way it is supposed to be.
The switch will be wired in series with the motor. It is connected between the supply voltage and the motor's junction box. The switch will break the black wire while the white wire is just wire nutted together and is carried directly through to the motor.
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).
The two bulbs will be wired in parallel with each other. The switch will be wired into the circuit upstream of the bulbs.
no in resd. it's hot normally but if wired oppisate 2006 irc code
You run a greater potential for being shocked if you connect the black and white wrong.

The last fixture in a parallel circuit is wired the same as the first. In North America, all of the fixtures are wired black wire to black wire and white wire to white wire. The black wire being the "hot" wire and the white wire being the neutral wire.
If you have one wire into your switch box for your light. this is called a switch leg, the dimmer should be wired across the black and white wire wires.

The two bulbs will be wired in parallel with each other. The switch will be wired into the circuit upstream of the bulbs.
A light controlled by a switch are necessarily wired in "series", meaning that the electricity must pass through all components if the circuit is to operate correctly, assuming you actually have a source of electricity wired in as well.
At that point, you should verify the home wiring; make certain that the black wire IS, in fact, the "hot" wire and that the white wire IS in fact the neutral. If the house is wired properly, connect the new fixture with "black to black and white to white." If you aren't certain that the house wiring was done properly, contact a local electrician to perform the work for you. Connecting a light fixture improperly can be dangerous to you and to anyone who subsequently changes a bulb or otherwise comes in contact with the fixture.
