Yes but if your fan & lights aren't exterior grade, I would cover them. If you aren't sure, cover just to be on the safe side. You can use trash bags.
I agree wrap then with trash bags to be safe. Doesn't matter if they are exterior or not. Electricity it electricity.
i think you could power wash the floor just fine - but the ceiling I’d avoid.
Agreed, if you're careful and cover them up it should be OK. If the bulbs are bare you might want to unscrew them and then just cover the socket with trash bags etc. A power washer would shatter a light bulb.
Are you wanting to powerwash the ceiling with the fan and lights? I'd remove the fan and avoid the lights because of the pressure
You want to be very careful. Water and electricity don't mix well. I would cover the ceiling with a plastic tarp. Just tack it up securely and ONLY power wash the floor.
Here are some ideas for safety and help

You could turn off the circuit to your porch before powerwashing it. I'd avoid spraying the fan and lights directly, though. If you're just worried about a little splashing around the electrical areas, turning it off until the porch has dried is a good idea.
Nancy...Yes you can...we cover ours with a heavy plastic bag after removing blades and it works great.
As long as you don't go full blast on the fan/lights with it being on. Keep the sprayer towards the floor/walls.
You should be able to do so with no issue.
You might want to cover those items with plastic. Just be very very careful when you're power washing as it's super easy to cause all sorts of damage.
