How do I hook up a ceiling fan when there is a 2 way switch in the room?
There are only one white and one black wire coming from my fan with light kit. But there are 3 white and 3 black wires coming from my ceiling. How do I determine which to hook to the fan wires?
You removed a light fixture, right? What was connected to the white and black wires of the light? That should connect to the fan. If you disconnected other connections in the box, I can't help you and you probably need to get an electrician. One of the white/black pairs is probably for the switch and the other 2 are power, unless there is another light on the same switch.
There is no such thing as a 2 way switch. Do you mean you have 2 switches for the light? If so, they are 3way switches (I didn't make up the terminology). That either has nothing to do with your fan wiring, or you have red wires in the ceiling that you didn't mention.
