The fan is controlled by a switch in the same switch box as the light switch, though the lights are not affected by the GFCI outlet (the light is on a separate circuit with other lights). The fan is in the ceiling | |

First step: Turn off the breaker(s) for anything related - i.e., outlet & fan (obviously) and any lights that have switches in the same location. Then remove the cover plates and pull out (but do not disconnect anything) the outlet, the fan switch, and any other switches in the same box. Take pictures of all the wires you can see and add them to your question. | |
