The fan is an old hampton bay, and the wiring has been disconnected below the motor, where the light fixture goes. It has a capacitor with two leads, and besides the black and white wire coming down through the central pipe, it has a blue lead (which goes to the pull chain switch), light brown, gray, yellow, blue and red. The reversing switch is cooked, and fell apart during removal.
Is it possible to omit the reversing switch? And, which wires hook up to which? Detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated. If anyone could hook me up with a schematic, that would be fantastic. Thanks in advance!

i don't suggest trying to re wire the fan if you haven't done this before and if there is a cooked switch mite not be safe to re hang it. typically the black is the hot for the fan motor and the blue is for the light kit

Celing fan are so inexpensive that if the fan is more than 5 years old, replace it with a new one replace the switch also.

First you have to dismantle of part the ceiling fan then find the hook and tight it with rope.

A ceiling fire is NOT cheaper than a NEW ceiling fan ; I recycled my old one when it malfunctioned. These fans are not repairable.

If you need to ask the question, then you need to call an electrician. Electric currents can be fatal.
