How do i put the wires onto the switch?
Question:there was no ceiling fan originally there i have to run the wires myself to an existing switch that also controls all the outlets in the room

TURN OFF THE POWER
You did not state the complete problem the first time. I have to assume that you are able to route the wires from the fan to the box where the switch is. There should be a black, white, and bare or green wire in the box. The black will go to the switch. The other terminal of the switch has a wire that goes to the outlets. You must connect the new black wire from the fan to the same wire going to the outlets. Connect the white and bare or green wire to the existing white and bare or green wire.
If you no longer want the outlets to work off the switch just remove the wire from the switch and connect it directly to the black wire.
sounds messy to have the outlets and the fan on the same switch.
You may be in over your head on this one...
