| Jun 6, 2017 at 5:16 | comment | added | A. I. Breveleri | One more suggestion - stop hooking things up at random and figure out exactly what each wire is connected to at its other end. | |
| Jun 6, 2017 at 5:13 | comment | added | A. I. Breveleri | I expect the vent/light combo j-box to have one cable, two wires, fan and light connected in parallel to those two wires. I expect the switch j-box to have one cable, three wires, black wire to both switches, white wire to other terminal of one switch, red wire to other terminal of other switch. If this is what you find, then you have a pair of switch loops with power to one of the loads. It will then remain only to test which of the two-wire cables in the light j-box is the power supply. - If you find something else, then we will have more analysis to do. | |

This is not as hard as you think. First, remove the cover from the vent/light combo and count the cables and wires coming into it. Then remove the cover from the switch junction box and count the cables and wires coming into it. Edit your question with photographs, diagrams, or descriptions what you find in the other j-boxes. | |
