   If the installer used standard color  conventions, the green is the equipment ground, the white is the neutral, and the black and red are intended to be separately switched power to the light and to the fan, or one is "always hot" power to the fan, and the other is switched power to the light. 

   I looked in the hunter website, and couldn't find a 27144 remote, but here's the way most fan/klight remotes are connected:

   -- the green building wire (from the switch) connects to the green wire on the fan hanger bracket, and to the green fixture lead, if there is one.

   --the white building wire connects to the "neutral in" wire on the remote receiver.

   --the black building wire connects to the "live in" lead.

   --the red building wire isn't used.  Wire nut if off.

   --the "common out" lead of the remote receiver connects to the white wire of the fan.

   --the "light out" lead connects to the blue wire of the fan

   --the "fan out" lead connects to the black wire of the fan

   --the "common out" lead connects to the white wire of the fan.

   If you hook up the fan this way and the remote transmitter "lights" button turns on the fan, switch the light out and fan out wires (fan out to blue and light out to black).    

   This is based on conventions that may not apply to your situation, but given the info you have shared, it's the obvious way.

   Please test to make sure the power is off at the ceiling box before touching wires. 

   Keep in mind that there may be power in the ceiling box even if the light is off (if the the red or the black wire in the box is not connected to anything now, or if it's connected to the existing fan lead, it may be "always hot", i.e., not switched).

   Good luck,

   Cliff

   "There are 4 wires coming from the wall switches( it is controlled by two separately located switches.) 1 White, 1 Green, 1 Red, 1 Black."

   Do you mean two 14-3 cables (black,red,white,green) coming into the ceiling box, one from each wall switch or one such cable but you can turn the fan on from either wall switch?

   Are the wall switches single pole switches or is each one a two-switch combo?

   The fan/light is fully controlled from two separate switches each at two separate locations. 2 switches for the fan, 2 switches for the light.  Naive but refreshing !

   OK, and one 4-wire cable enters the ceiling box, right?I think you will find that the two switches at each location are 3-way; one controlling the black wire to the ceiling box and the other the red wire. You can verify by using a voltage meter or non-contact probe to see which wire is turned on/off by which switch. One of the switches that controls the red wire will have a red wire connected to its "common" connector (black screw or labeled back-stab). Disconnect that wire.You can then leave the disconnected switch and its partner in place or you may want to remove them and wire-nut and tape the hot wire that supplied power to them.CAP has given you a good rundown of the connections at the remote controller and fan.BruceT
