re: OB camp ceiling fan experts needed

It should have a housing where the light kit attaches if it's as fancy as you say (if not most of them are prewired for one). Take off the cover and make sure the terminal connectors are snapped in all the way.

The next thing to check would be if there is a pin or something on the motor shaft to the fan blades.

Possible loose neutral wire would be the last thing I'd check cause it's usually solid copper wire going to stranded wire so sometimes the stranded wire will slip out of the wire nut.
