Step 4Install the New Switch
With the plastic cover gone, the new switch should fit through the open hole with no trouble. The plastic tab that was holding the old switch in place may be in the way. If so, you can cut it off with a sturdy knife, grind it down with a Dremel, or even just break it of in stages with a pair of nippers.
Push the switch through the hole from the inside, and secure it with the large keyed washer and nuts included. I used both nuts on the outside to make sure the switch doesn't come loose over time.
Solder the white to the center contact. Solder the red (high volume) lead to the right-hand "contact. This corresponds to flipping the switch to the left, matching the icon printed on the case. Solder the black (low volume) lead to the left-hand contact, corresponding to flipping the switch to the right.
Yes, it is a bit confusing. The fourth picture below should make it clear what's going on.
