1980s Hunter Original Wiring diagrams--Model 25606

[vineyridge]

I have four Hunter Originals that were purchased in the 1980s.  All have worked like champs ever since.  However, I put non-Hunter light kits on all of them, and two of them were wired to work off the room light switch with a separate hunter rotary control for the fan speed.  My fans are all three speed. I still have the original owners manuals which show some wiring but not all. A plastic piece that held the light globe to the fan broke one of them, and I did something really, really stupid.  I climbed a ladder and removed the light kit.  I had no idea what I was doing, so I also removed the capacitor and unwired the connection from the light kit to the room light switch and possibly to the wall mounted fan speed rotary control.  Now, of course, the fan doesn't work.

The model number is 25606.  The capacitor has two short black wires coming out of it.  The wire that is used to connect to the room switch is black and white (figured that out from the owner's manual.)  Now I want to rewire the fan so it works and put the skeleton of the light kit which holds the bulbs back on the fan.  But I don't have any idea which wires go where.  I know that the lights work off one black and one white wire, but nothing more.  I've called Hunter and they say they don't have a wiring diagram for the 25606.

Can someone help me here?  I would really appreciate getting this fan back into service.

What wires do you have that currently arent connected?

[vineyridge]

I have three black wires, one white wire and one black and gray/white wire.  I know the white wire connects to the light's white wire, but I don't know which of the black wires goes to the light, and which to the capacitor.  I also don't know where to connect the black and gray wire to the light to make it work from the wall switch.  I could take a photo if that would help.

Black/grey connects to the light's black. White connects to the light's white, and if memory serves, one side of the cap.

Where do all the black wires come from?

[vineyridge]

All of the wires seem to come through the hole in the center.  What I think are the black and white wires for the light, as well as the black and gray wire, are all of a thinner gauge than what I believe are the capacitor wires.  One of the two thicker wires is very short; the other is probably 2 1/2" longer.  I just don't know which wire on the capacitor goes to which wire in the fan, i.e, which side of the capacitor goes to the long wire and which to the short one.  There are no plus/minus markings on the capacitor at all , but it does have print to mark the front.  The short wire is more to the right than the longer wire.  What I believe is the black light wire is much, much longer.

Perhaps pictures would help because your description isnt.

If you need to post pictures, upload them to Photobucket, then find the IMG codes and copy and paste them into your post.

One black will be solid copper, the other will be stranded, maybe also tinned. The Solid black will go to one side of the CAP. The other side will be shared with the light kit white. The stranded black will go to the L on the pull chain switch. Your reverse switch must be on top of the motor?

If you can't figure it out, text me at [please use PM's to share phone numbers - mod team]. I have the diagram on my phone.

I don't give a damn if he or anyone else has my phone number.
