Hi there.
Recently our bathroom extractor fan broke, so I got a new one but I'm having difficulty wiring it (homeowner DIY guy here).
So... there are 3 wires coming from bathroom wall:
However new fan has only 2 pin connector built in and I'm wondering, how to wire it so I can turn it with the right light switch (the one that previously only turned on extractor fan) or worst case scenario turn the fan together with light when left light switch is on?
I imagine I need to isolate brown (Live) wire, so it wouldn't run 24/7, but what about the rest? I'm totally lost.
Thank you in advance!

So... there are 3 wires coming from bathroom wall:
- brown (Live)
- blue (Neutral)
- yellow/green (Ground).
