What color is that switch.  Odds are that you've gotten the wrong one.  This
happened to me, and drove me nuts for a week or so.  It's been most of a
year ago, and I cannot remember what the values of the switches are, but
Bentley calls for the wrong one in one place and the correct one in another.
You need the one with the  lower value.
