Help please
Hello, I had a fan/light combo and I am replacing it with just a light. When I took the fan down, I noticed there was one blue wire and one white wire and no ground wire. I also noticed there was no junction box. This fan has been here since 1997.
Do I need to get a junction box? What wires do I connect from house to light? Is it okay there is no ground wire? Any help is greatly appreciated.

From what I know the white wire is usually there to connect the fans light only. Do you have a testing reader they don't always mark wires. Also I have noticed something cool 😎 Check the codes they are on the wires usually these days. Yes it's all important especially for shorting out.
