Reset switch reassembly procedure (kinda long)



Charlie,
    Took my reset switch apart tonight, and I was able to get it reassembled 
(and it works).  Here is how I did it:  
The Players:  Rocker (top piece of the switch that has the clock and arrow 
                                    legends and three contact leaves)
                      Reset button( has two contact leaves)
                      Three Springs (one small diameter on each end of switch, larger
                                               one on center pin on connector)
                      Switch body
                      Connector (has light bulbs/springs)  
   
  Both the rocker and connector can be removed.  Remove the connector.
Check orientation of the top and bottom pieces to make sure you are
assembling them in the correct orientation because the connector will only 
snap on one way. Snap the top (rocker with reset button) onto the body of
the switch. Install the reset button in the rocker. All three springs go on the
connector.  Hold the reset button in as far as you can while starting to
replace the connector. The leaves for the reset button go on the insides 
of the center contacts in the connector. Since you are holding the reset
button in,  it's leaves will be longer than the three leaves sticking down
from the rocker. Do not release the reset button until the switch is snapped
together. Continue to assemble the switch while watching the remaining 
three leaves to make sure that they are on the outside of the contacts
on the bottom piece.  Push the connector onto the switch body until it snaps.

                                   Hope this helps.
