I purchased a used Harbor Breeze ceiling fan used because it was a nice looking fan, but am stymied on if it is possible to wire it for independent light and fan use. The ceiling fan has only two wires and a ground wire coming out while most ceiling fan units with lights have 3. I have two switches and can use only one but it turns on both the light and the fan at the same time and there is no pull cords to control the unit externally.
I purchased a universal remote controller that covers the Harbor Breeze brand but it has 3 wires to attach to the ceiling fan and the fan has only two. I looked down the wire tube to see if the 3rd wire slipped down there and their was a wire but it had a hard factory nipple on it like antenna’s do so I assume the controller is built into the base unit. I can get the light housing off, it is attached to two wires but I do not see any screws or bolts to disassemble the main housing. Called Harbor Breeze but they say the MFG. went out of business and they have no remotes that will pair with this fan. Any ideas? am I out of luck? I really like the fan because it has beautiful real wood blades, that I stupidly took the time to refinish as it powered on and I assumed I could get a remote.

Black and white wire from ceiling exit to 9 pin. Blue – light wire connects to black wire from grey box. red wire exits from box and connects to 9pin exiting as black towards motor area ( I assume power to fan). This gives me my third wire so that is good the only question is 3 smaller gauge wires brown, grey and light blue that come from the controller through the 9 pin and down into the motor area? Must control the 3 speeds to the fan? any chance that functionality is now built into the universal remote controller I have? If not I guess there is no fix. Additionally I put the bulb in my candelabra and it worked fine, dimmed and all so I assume it is house power and not stepped down.
