I tested the coil and had Ohms resistance. I think it was 1.7. Would you happen to know if that is a orrect range?

Great information. Really appreciate the step by step. I missed your reply earlier but going to follow your advice tomorrow.

I'm looking for a Fan Pull knob, any chance you have one? Thanks
