I just moved in to a 16 year old house and replacing a ceiling fan with chandelier. Chandelier has conventional white, black and ground. The fan was connected to red and ground only, which I guess was incorrect. How do I connect the new chandelier. Picture of the outlet attached.

You would need to test to verify, but it looks like the black is a constant hot with the red being the switch leg.
So to connect a chandelier you'd use the red (hot), white (neutral) and ground.

2Yes, that's what i did. Tested, and black was constant hot and red was the switch. You got it spot on. Thanks.– mishapFeb 9, 2015 at 12:05
