I know there are about a zillion EE's out there, but since there are no
answers yet (maybe they're all on the way to Albany??), I'll try...
Sure sounds like you accidentally plugged the switch in backwards. There are
typically a set of Normally Open contacts, and a set of Normally Closed ones.
The typical pinout on the switch is to have a common terminal, a NO
terminal, and a NC terminal. Try switching the connections.
Good Luck !!
