Default Alignment of tabs...

I just use a screwdriver to line them up. Can't remember the details of what goes where though.

Been there, done that. I took a long screwdriver and flashlight and got them lined up pretty easily. Odds are you turned the top without turing the bottom, so what I did was turned the top one backwards until I could see it was lined back up with the bottom and it worked fine. When you get the slots lined up you'll be able to see through the top one and into the slot in the bottom. I know it sounds confusing but looking down into the switch with a flashlight it'll make more sence.

Good luck....

I believe you're off by 1-2 positions on the switch...remove & start w/locking to align. Turn bars like Left-turn & align w/screwdriver until it locks. Then turn 1-click to Right & drop switch in place...hope this helps...good luck!
