You may find that you simply installed the switch upside down and "on" is now the down position. Don't confuse up with on. On a single pole switch, on and off or clearly labeled.

If either of these cases are true for you, just turn the switch over.

If this does not describe your problem, something else is going on and you need a competent electrician to look at it.
