I'm doing some electrical troubleshooting and I've had to remove the fan/heater/light assembly to check some wires. As I was getting ready to reinstall the unit, I decided that the heater wouldn't be used anymoreI was always afraid it'd burn down the house lol, not to mention the burning dust smell... It was never used other than being turned on accidentally and that it would be disconnected. That bathroom originally contained two switches in a gangbox that controlled the heater and vent together on one switch and the light along with a separate light fixture on the other and a duplex receptacle. How would you go about rewiring it so that the two switches instead control the exhaust fan on one switch then the two lights on the other?

I suggest you cut 3 pigtails out of your black wire (about 5-6" each and strip them so you can put a nut to tie them all together on the main wire, then do the same for your grounds using green 5-6" strips of wire and then connect all 3 switches with the pigtails to their proper locations. This WILL fix your problem.

Wiring a bathroom combination vent, heater, light 3 way switch means more wires. In brief, you need to run two cables - one a two wire and one a three wire from the switch to the fan.
Incoming power will have white black and ground.
The two wire cable for the switch to the fan will have wht, blk, and ground.
The three wire will have red, blk, wht, and grnd.
The switch will likely have 2 blacks and a red coming from it, with two blacks and a red on one side, and a single black on the other.
The fan should have a red, blue, green, black, and white.
On the fan end: Group all green/copper grounds together and use a wire nut to fasten them together. Tape the nut to the wires.
There will be five white wires coming through. For ease of handling, using wire nuts, connect two on one nut and three on the other.
connect the blue to a blck. Connect one red to one black, and the other red to the other black.
The switch will have one red going into the 3 wire cable, a black going to the 3 wire cable, and a black form incoming power to the side opposite the 3 wires, and a blck going to the two wire cable.
There. Confused?
