Turning on the switch will turn on both the fan and the light simultaneously.
This is done in cases where there is only one control switch. You can connect the blue and black wires from the fan together to the black wire from the ceiling. But that doesn’t mean you have to connect them. If you spot a red wire in the electric box while changing a light fixture, it means that the blue wire from the light kit can go with this red wire.
If your home wiring doesn’t have a red wire for the ceiling fan’s dual control, then you will have to use the same switch for the fan and its light. If you want the light fixture in the ceiling fan to be controlled by a separate switch, you need a red wire between that switch and the fan for conducting power to the light kit.

However, if you install a ceiling fan without a light fixture, you can cap off the red wire in the ceiling and attach the fan motor’s black wire to the black wire coming from the ceiling. So, you can attach the ceiling’s red wire with the light kit’s blue wire. This is an indication that your home is pre-wired for two separate switches for the ceiling fan. In most cases, the red wire will not be coming from the fan but from the ceiling. What Is The Blue Wire On A Ceiling Fan? (Detailed Explanation)
