OK here we go. Remote only ceiling fan Emerson CF955BS Midway Eco model, would work but not the lights. Bulbs were OK. Voltage tester showed current in the wires of the bulbs housing but a fuse was blown. Not sure why it was blown, could be a good reason for that.
Here is where I offed up. Local hardware did not have the 1.25 amp fuse, so "for today" I used the next size up, 1.6 amp. I knew this was not the best approach but...!
When I inserted the 1.6A fuse I heard a sound. Fuse still looks intact. Now no power to fan anywhere and fan no longer spins.
So I did I blow the receiver? Capacitor? Not sure where to start...
